Mission

In recognition of the fundamental principles of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, International Bridges to Justice, as a non-government and non-profit organization, is dedicated to ensuring the basic legal rights of ordinary citizens in Asia. Specifically, IBJ works to guarantee the rights of all citizens to competent legal representation, to be protected from cruel and unusual punishment, and to a fair trial. To this end, IBJ works to support and enhance governmental legal efforts in Asia to protect citizen rights and implement existing criminal laws through providing training partnerships, legal and administrative structural support and material assistance.

Programs

Capitalizing on recent domestic legal reforms in China, Vietnam and Cambodia that take a strong stance in favor of human rights, International Bridges to Justice works to help build, support and institutionalize strong networks of public defenders to ensure fairer and more effective criminal justice systems in Asia. There are several core elements that are common to each country program: training public defenders; providing on-going support to defenders; creating awareness among ordinary citizens of basic legal rights and the due process of law; and providing a permanent infrastructure to ensure that positive legal reforms become entrenched into daily practice. Each of these activities is important in its own right, but each also supports and enhances all the others. By combining them into one program, IBJ is uniquely able to maximize the outcomes from each and effect lasting change, benefiting over 300,000 citizens each year.
