THE WHO, WHY AND WHAT…
Justice Upheld is a free and an independent international humanitarian organisation, supported by a campaign team of lawyers and activists working for the protection and furtherance of human rights.
We provide free legal advice and representations to those denied access to justice including victims of injustice who do not have the financial means to assert and redress breaches of their human rights.
THE WHO…
Justice Upheld is a British based human rights organisation, yet we have legal professionals and Human Rights Defenders all around the world.
We petition, lobby, protests to and liase with governments, parliamentarians and members of other non government organisations on every continent.
We defend and stand up for those who do not have the financial means to access justice. In order stop then seek redress for breaches of human rights they may have suffered.
THE WHY…
International and national legislation subscribe to legal frameworks to protect the basic human rights of all people and as far as policy is concerned, Governments agree to uphold these rights, however, when it comes to enforcing these agreements, the reality is starkly different. Justice Upheld is about finding out Why and doing something about it.
Justice Upheld was inspired by the ‘Free Sarabjit Singh Campaign at www.freesarabjitsingh.com
THE WHAT…
What can be done? By using the legislation enshrined in international treaties and national laws, Justice Upheld works to initiate legal process and to bring these breaches of human rights and injustice to the wider attention. Our volunteer lawyers work with Government legislators and political leaders to “restart” faltering or lapsed legal process and provide oversight and monitoring to try and ensure that Justice is upheld.
WHERE YOU FIT IN…
Justice Upheld is proof that the intervention of committed British citizens and citizens of other countries, CAN work to make legal systems work more effectively, irrespective of country and politics. Justice is an intrinsic part of human nature and is a fundamental necessity for humanity to live in safety. YOU can make a difference, please get in touch, get involved and help us to ensure that Justice is upheld for ALL of us.
