The services we offer
Amicus Curiae
We provide assistance and file Amicus Curiae before regional systems in the field of international human rights law.
The doctrinal approach adopted by the Clinic most often consists in highlighting the comparative and inter-systemic perspective of the legal solutions proposed by international judges and bodies in response to a legal controversy at the heart of a particular dispute. Amicus briefs may be written exclusively by the Clinic, or in partnership with other clinics, NGOs or universities as part of joint initiatives.
Legal reports
Our reports are based on in-depth research and analysis of human rights legislation. They document specific cases of human rights violations, identify the perpetrators and assess the legal remedies available.
Geopolitical watch
We monitor the political and security situation in countries of origin, and use this information to assess the risks faced by individuals.
We have a team of experienced analysts who monitor the situation in countries around the world. We use a variety of sources, including news reports, government documents and social media, to gather information. We then analyze this information to identify trends and assess risks to individuals.
Litigation activities
The Clinic defends victims of violations of international human rights law by representing them in international litigation before bodies such as the European Court of Human Rights, the Inter-American Commission and Court of Human Rights, the African Commission and Court of Human Rights, and the United Nations treaty bodies.
In this context, the Clinic can either directly support a victim in his or her case, advising on the strategic litigation options available, or support a law firm or NGO in international litigation cases.
United Nations mechanisms
We have expertise in the various procedures that can be used to raise human rights issues before the United Nations. We are familiar with the work of special rapporteurs, treaty bodies and other UN mechanisms, and can help you navigate these procedures and ensure that your voice is heard.
Pre-litigation reports and strategic analyses
The Clinic manages the preparation of pre-litigation reports aimed at establishing the means of defending the rights of victims in international proceedings. It produces comparative law studies for its partners on specific legal issues to help them prepare their litigation arguments, and advises them on the international litigation strategy best suited to the litigation situation in which they are involved or the case they intend to defend.
