Our experience has shown us that collaborating with partners who have a deep understanding of the context in which serious violations take place is the most effective way to promote human rights, ensure accountability and support the rule of law. Recognising them as those most proximate to a situation and most directly able to make an impact, we listen to their needs and empower them to make a direct impact.
Our approach involves tailored training programs and collaborative initiatives designed to meet the specific needs of our partners, we equip them with the tools required for effective evidence collection and analysis.
We are dedicated to supporting government entities and international organizations engaged in the complex task of prosecuting and adjudicating international crimes.
Our purpose is clear. We aim to build the capacity of legal systems and institutions to use international law to effectively pursue justice against perpetrators.
Our approach is multifaceted and adaptive. We engage in needs assessments, case-mapping, and research to tailor our support to the specific requirements of each partner and contribute to the design and coordination of legal strategies.
UpRights centers on providing robust support to its partners in identifying and pursuing effective legal pathways for remedies and accountability.
The partnerships we build are based on our commitment to ensure that victims of human rights violations receive just remedies, and those responsible are held accountable.
Our advice provides honest assessments of what is and is not viable. Our experience also allows us to develop short, medium and long-term approaches which consider a number of pathways including legal redress, the formulation of new accountability pathways and ongoing advocacy efforts.
UpRights is dedicated to enabling transparent, rule of law-based systems, including promoting evidence-based business and human rights solutions and developing transitional justice frameworks for conflict-affected or unstable regions.
In the context of business and human rights, we work with stakeholders to promote human rights due diligence, including in conflict-affected environments by engaging in the development and implementation of frameworks that encourage responsible corporate conduct.
In the field of transitional justice, our efforts are based on the belief that transparent, rule of law-based systems are essential for fostering sustainable and just societies. This requires working with all parties to enable effective legal mechanisms, ensure public trust and promote dialogue.
