MISSION
The Center for Justice & Accountability (CJA) works to deter torture and other severe human rights abuses around the world by helping survivors hold their persecutors accountable. CJA is the leading center in the United States that represents survivors in civil suits against persecutors who live in or visit the United States. CJA is pioneering an integrated approach to the quest for justice that combines legal representation with referrals for needed medical and psychosocial services, and outreach to schools, community organizations and the general public. CJA currently represents more than 40 survivors from twelve countries: Bosnia, Chile, China, East Timor, El Salvador, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Somalia, Spain and and two Middle Eastern countries (whose names we must keep confidential until the cases are filed).
We sue rights abusers who live in or visit the United States, and set precedents and disseminate information that can help bring other perpetrators to justice.
We provide information and training to U.S. Government agencies to help them pursue, prosecute and/or deport human rights abusers within the United States.
We help refugees who survived torture or whose family members were killed to break the silence that enables abusers to live in impunity, find meaning in their survival and gain hope in the possibility of justice.
We enlist the American public in supporting legislation and policies that advance justice and accountability.
