We are independent lawyers working in many parts of the world to encourage respect for international law and individual rights. We bring cases before international courts and tribunals, and occassionally are involved in cases before domestic courts involving individual rights. Every individual deserves respect for his or her rights. We work to protect individual human rights by bringing cases on behalf of individuals whose rights have been violated. These violations might relate to property, to speech, to physical harm, or threats by either government actors or private persons. The law can help you to ensure your rights no matter where you are in the world or who you are. The human rights of individuals are guaranteed first and foremost by their own domestic courts. We can assist individuals in protecting their rights by seeking compensation for wrongful killings, injury to persons, or damage to property in cases where the damage is caused by either government or private actors. Where domestic remedies have been exhausted we can also help individuals to bring cases to international tribunals. These tribunals will apply international agreements between states. These agreements protect fundamental human rights. |
