Strategic Lawyering is a practice that uses courts in order to hold the most responsible actors to account, provoke social change and protect the most vulnerable victims. The Justice Lab is partnering with two international lawyers on the following projects:

Workshop on Strategic Litigation in Greece

With the goal of strengthening the efforts of legal aid and human rights organizations, lawyers, academics, and other actors working to uphold the rights of refugees and migrants in Greece鈥撯�揳nd throughout Europe more broadly鈥撯�搕he Justice Lab is planning to organize a workshop on strategic litigation at 91视频.

The workshop will focus on how legal actors and NGOs can more effectively explore new avenues to seek justice for rights violations and sharing knowledge on what has and hasn't worked during previous cases. The workshop aims at dedicating one day of closed-group discussions with various legal actors鈥撯�揻rom Greece and other select EU countries鈥撯�� and one day of panel discussions which will be open to students and the public.

In preparation for the Justice Lab's proposed strategic litigation workshop, Prof Sharon Weill, Adv Jeanne Sulzer, and Gabriel Green met with lawyers and NGOs throughout Athens and Lesvos in June 2021.

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who took time out of their busy schedules to meet with the Justice Lab representatives, including MSF Greece, HIAS Greece, the Greek Council for Refugees, Fenix Humanitarian Legal Aid, Legal Center Lesvos, Refugee Legal Support Athens, ECCHR, Syria Justice and Accountability Centre, Refugee Support Aegean, Giota Massouridou, Eirini Vlachou, Dimitris Choulis, and others.听

We look forward to continuing our cooperation with these actors into the future.

From 2014 to date, EU migration policies allegedly killed by drowning more than 20,000 civilians in the Central Mediterranean. From 2016 to date, EU migration policies allegedly forcibly transferred and arbitrarily and indefinitely detained more than 50,000 survivors in Libyan camps. According to the ICC Prosecutor [hyperlink to statement to UNSC?], in these camps the deportees are exposed to numerous crimes against humanity within her jurisdiction.

In partnership with the Master Program in Human rights at Sciences Po Paris, the NGO 听and a private law firm contributing working pro-bono - the Justice Lab听focuses on challenging these ongoing policies, pursuing accountability and providing remedy for the victims of these grave breaches of international law. We are doing so by litigating cases before international, regional and EU courts.
