Partners
The ICJ has a network of national sections in different countries around the world, as well as affiliated organisations in others.
National sections differ in size and structure. In some countries they have no staff and rely entirely upon pro bono work of judges, lawyers, interns and others to keep the section running, while others have dedicated staff and are NGOs in their own right.
Affiliated organisations are pre-existing organisations working to protect human rights and the Rule of Law in their own countries who have chosen to become affiliated to the ICJ network for mutual benefit. National Sections share the aims and values of the ICJ, and will work on projects, third party interventions and conferences with the International Secretariat and Regional Offices. Sections remain independent and determine their own policies and activities.
We also work extensively through partnerships with:
- local and national CSOs,
- bar associations, law societies and judges’ associations,
- institutions at central and local levels (judicial councils, judicial academies, ministries of justice, office of the President, Parliament, etc.),
- international NGOs,
- development agencies, and UN and intergovernmental mechanisms,
- universities, research institutes and think tanks at national, regional, and international level and
- corporates/private sector institutions (national and international).
