Lawyers Without Borders Network

What we do

Field Missions

We base our action on the protection and implementation of universal values of Human Rights, the presumption of innocence, the right of every person to a fair trial and to be defended by a free and independent counsel, the right of victims to see their rights recognised. The Network promotes the rights of the defence, in particular for the benefit of vulnerable populations. We promote the free and independent exercise of defence for defenders of human rights and their lawyers.
