Cja is a leading us-based organization working with survivors and communities impacted by atrocity crimes in seeking truth, Justice, and redress. Through innovative high-impact litigation, cja has brought cases against human rights violators from around the world, from latin america to africa and the middle east. Cja participates in cases of importance to the human rights community as amicus curiae in human rights cases in the u.s., as well as other courts. Cja also supports initiatives that advance the united states government's commitment to prosecute human rights abusers. Cja works on an ongoing basis with us and international law enforcement. Cja integrates other innovative strategies to hold human rights abusers accountable. Cja pairs survivor-centered litigation with transitional Justice projects, in which cja works alongside lawyers and human rights defenders from impacted communities in joint case investigation and development. Cja partners with pro bono lawyers to litigate our cases. During the 2023-24 fiscal year, cja's pro bono partners donated services and professional out of pocket expenses valued at approximately $4,660,748. Cja also leverages partnerships with leading academic centers, forensic, military and country experts, survivor coalitions, medical professionals, torture treatment centers, and frontline ngos. These partnerships are foundational to our success in investigating new cases, ensuring a victim-centered approach to Justice, and engaging in transnational litigation that has impact in the countries where the crimes originally took place. The impact of cja's work can be measured in at least four important ways:1. The use of cja's cases around the world as a catalyst and support for domestic accountability.2. The development of a body of international law.3. The historic record of truth our cases create. 4. The therapeutic benefits that survivors of gross human rights abuses experience as a result of participating in Justice processes. Cja made significant progress in all of its cases before the courts on Accountability for atrocity crimes. Through its capacity building work, cja provides advice and support to local lawyers and investigators on collection, preservation, and analysis of evidence to assist in holding perpetrators of atrocity crimes accountable.
