Our Story​
Justice pour Tous Internationale (JPTi) was founded in April 2022 to address the critical gaps in justice faced by vulnerable communities worldwide. JPTi’s creation was a response to the need for a proactive organisation to hold perpetrators accountable and bridge the divide between global ideals and on-the-ground reality.
Our Mission​
Justice Pour Tous Internationale is a non-profit organization (CHE-226.634.549) dedicated to upholding and defending human rights wherever they are under threat. Our team of international experts provides targeted support to those most vulnerable to injustice, including entrepreneurs, journalists, political dissidents, and at-risk children. Operating globally, we address the needs of persecuted individuals and marginalised communities through strategic litigation and steadfast advocacy.​
​
​Our work is founded on independence and integrity, with funding sourced exclusively from membership fees, donations, and public subsidies, all in strict compliance with Swiss legal standards. This financial autonomy empowers us to collaborate effectively with international bodies, present cases of human rights violations to United Nations mechanisms, and establish critical legal precedents. Our core priorities include modernizing policing practices, protecting children's rights, combating corruption, and supporting human rights defenders worldwide.
In collaboration with both local and international organisations, we advocate for stronger human rights protections, urging governments and corporations to implement equitable policies. At JPTi, we are forging a future where justice transcends aspiration and becomes an attainable reality for all.
