Our Mission:
Our mission at Northern Justice Watch is to deliver justice for victims of atrocity crimes, to challenge the impunity often associated with these crimes, and to uphold the human rights and freedoms of all victims across multiple countries. We are dedicated to bringing their stories to light and challenging the unaccountability that plagues many oppressive regimes.
Our faith in righteousness is steadfast. Using Canadian and international law, we stand up to global dictatorships and strive to maintain Canada’s international human rights legacy. From our base in Canada, we respond to global human rights violations, launching and pursuing domestic and international legal initiatives. Our mission encapsulates a clear, present commitment: No crime against humanity should go unnoticed or unchallenged.
