Please feel free to provide a short bio about yourself (no more than 3 paragraphs)

International Bridges to Justice (www.ibj.org) is an independent, non-profit and non-governmental organization founded in 2000 that strives to protect due process and achieve fair trials for the accused throughout the world.

In countries where governmental commitment to human rights principles has, of yet, failed to meet its practical goal, IBJ fills the gap between human rights legislature and domestic implementation.

Currently operating in China, Vietnam and Cambodia, IBJ has just recently launched projects in Rwanda, Zimbabwe and Burundi. In response to urgent requests, we are also expanding initiatives to reach other parts of the world.

We envision a world without torture or unjust legal proceedings, and we work every day to achieve this end.
