MakingJusticeWork.org User Guide - 23 May 2025

The “Global Initiative Against Impunity for international crimes: Making justice work” (GIAI) is a Consortium of eight international NGOs and the Coalition for the International Criminal Court, co-funded by the European Union, which aims to contribute to the fight against impunity by supporting a comprehensive, integrated and inclusive approach to justice and accountability for serious human rights violations and international crimes.

Driven by this commitment, the Global Initiative launches MakingJusticeWork.org, the GIAI Knowledge Management Platform, a digital platform designed to strengthen the work of key stakeholders and actors engaged in the fight for accountability.

The platform serves as secure and user-friendly digital space that aims to reduce barriers to information, coordination, and engagement. It centralises vital legal resources, survivor testimonies, advocacy tools, and practice notes, all in an accessible, structured format. Civil society organisations, victims and survivors, legal practitioners, and justice advocates play a critical role in advancing accountability for serious human rights violations and core international crimes. This collaborative environment allows them to access good practices, learn from comparative experiences, and build solidarity beyond their immediate networks.

MakingJusticeWork.org aspires to be more than a repository of information: it aims to serve as a catalyst for collective strategy and learning. It offers a space where civil society actors can strengthen cases, amplify survivors’ voices, shape policy, and influence justice processes at every level. By transforming shared knowledge into collective capacity, the platform seeks to enable those fighting impunity to act with greater effectiveness, innovative tools, and coordination.

This user guide will help you navigate the platform’s core features and maximise the benefits of joining this growing community of practice. Together, through shared knowledge and coordinated action, we can make justice work.
