In june 2002 “The Swiss Association Fighting against Impunity”, TRIAL International’s old name committed itself to fight impunity and fought alongside the victims of international crimes in their quest for justice, in Switzerland and in the world.
Since then, a great deal has been achieved and the organization has developed and grown. It follows relentlessly its mission with more motivation than ever!
