Advancing Global Justice

The United Nations (UN) serves as the cornerstone of international cooperation, and human rights are at the heart of its mission. We as IJAF (International Justice and Freedom), we are dedicated to participate in UN initiatives that promote and protect human rights worldwide. We engage in efforts to support the UN’s work in advancing global justice. The UN, established in the aftermath of World War II, was founded with the fundamental goal of maintaining international peace and security, fostering cooperation among nations, and promoting respect for human rights. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1948, is a foundational document that enshrines the principles of human rights that all nations are committed to upholding. It serves as a beacon for global efforts to protect and advance the rights and dignity of individuals everywhere.

We engage with the UN on various fronts to ensure that human rights are at the forefront of international discourse and action. One of our primary areas of focus is advocating for the implementation of international human rights treaties and conventions. The UN plays a pivotal role in monitoring and facilitating the adherence to these treaties by its member states. We support the UN’s efforts to hold nations accountable for their human rights obligations and commitments. We also participate in UN initiatives aimed at addressing specific human rights challenges. This includes advocating for the protection of vulnerable populations, such as refugees, internally displaced persons, and those affected by conflicts and humanitarian crises. We collaborate with UN agencies and humanitarian organizations to ensure that the rights of these individuals are upheld in line with international standards.

IJAF organization recognizes the importance of promoting the rights of women and girls, as gender equality is a central principle of the UN’s mission. We engage in UN efforts to advance the rights of women and girls, including initiatives aimed at ending gender-based violence, promoting economic empowerment, and ensuring equal access to education and healthcare. We also understand the role of the UN in addressing emerging global challenges that have human rights implications. These challenges include climate change, cybersecurity, and the impact of technological advancements on individual rights. IJAF organization participates in UN discussions and initiatives related to these issues, advocating for solutions that respect human rights and global justice. We recognize the importance of the UN’s peacekeeping missions in protecting human rights. UN peacekeepers play a crucial role in conflict-affected regions, providing security, monitoring human rights abuses, and facilitating peace processes. We support these missions and engage in efforts to ensure that peacekeepers adhere to the highest human rights standards.

IJAF organization supports the work of the United Nations Human Rights Council, an integral part of the UN’s human rights machinery. The Human Rights Council serves as a forum for addressing human rights issues, conducting reviews of states’ human rights records, and adopting resolutions on a wide range of human rights concerns. We engage in these processes by submitting reports, participating in sessions, and advocating for the consideration of specific human rights violations and concerns. We also recognize the significance of implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a means to promote and protect human rights. The SDGs encompass key human rights principles such as the eradication of poverty, gender equality, access to education, and the preservation of the environment. We engage with the UN in its efforts to align the SDGs with human rights standards and to ensure that the SDGs are implemented in a manner that respects and promotes human rights.

We also support the efforts of the UN in addressing global crises, such as the refugee and migrant situation. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) play essential roles in providing assistance and protection to refugees and migrants worldwide. We collaborate with these agencies to ensure that the rights of displaced populations are upheld and that comprehensive solutions are sought to address the root causes of displacement. We recognize the importance of promoting accountability and justice for human rights violations. The UN plays a crucial role in establishing mechanisms for accountability, including international tribunals and fact-finding missions. We support these initiatives to ensure that those responsible for human rights abuses are held accountable and that justice is served for victims.
