About Project Expedite Justice
Founded in 2016, Project Expedite Justice (PEJ) assists survivors of atrocities and serious human rights abuses in seeking justice through all available legal mechanisms. Our three-step model consists of (1) training local organizations in internationally recognized standards of evidence collection, (2) action learning through peer mentoring, and (3) providing independent legal consulting. This model is adaptable and can be applied in conflict and post-conflict situations and to a range of criminal matters and serious human rights abuses. We partner with local organizations that share our mission and goals, and we work side by side with them to empower local communities, identify and link the perpetrators to the crimes or human rights violations, and ultimately, dismantle criminal networks.
