TRIAL International believes in a world where impunity for international crimes is no longer tolerated. The obligation to hold accountable the perpetrators of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, sexual violence, torture and enforced disappearances, together with the opportunity for victims to obtain justice and reparation, can deter the future commission of these crimes.
Our Vision
“Fighting for justice helped me get my life back. I hope that my story and the positive verdict I received will serve as an example for other victims struggling to be heard.” (Lejla B., victim of sexual violence and forced labor in Bosnia and Herzegovina)
Our Mission
TRIAL International’s mission is to fight impunity for international crimes and support victims in their quest for justice. International crimes include genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, enforced disappearances, sexual violence and extrajudicial execution.
