The Association of Iran's Jurists is an independent, international legal organization dedicated to documenting violations of international humanitarian law and advancing accountability through rigorous legal analysis.
AIJ was founded by a network of jurists committed to ensuring that violations of international humanitarian law do not go unrecorded. We believe accountability begins with rigorous, verifiable documentation.
Our work combines field investigation with legal expertise to produce reports that meet the evidentiary standards required by international courts, tribunals, and human rights mechanisms.
We operate independently of governments and political movements, guided solely by international humanitarian law and human rights law.
Our field research units gather primary evidence, witness testimony, and physical documentation from affected areas.
Our legal team evaluates findings against international humanitarian law and human rights law frameworks.
Verified findings are published and, where appropriate, referred to relevant international legal bodies.
