The Center for Truth and Justice is excited to share that Dr. Sarah Babaian, LL.M., International Negotiation Expert and Legal Advisor on International Criminal Law matters, and Maria Gevorgyan, CFTJ-Armenia Staff Attorney, will represent our team this week at the 23rd session of the ICC’s Assembly of States Parties (ASP) to the Rome Statute in The Hague, Netherlands.
We are honored to be among just 10 NGOs selected from hundreds to present before the ICC and global leaders. The ASP offers a crucial platform to advance justice, uplift victims and civil society, and address accountability on both institutional and global levels.
We invite attendees to connect with us and join our side event, “Holding Azerbaijan Accountable: The Role of the ICC for Ethnic Armenians,” cohosted with Democracy Development Foundation (DDF) and the International Partnership for Human Rights (IPHR).
📍🗓 Friday, December 6 | 13:15–14:45 | Africa Room, World Forum
Keep up to date with everything that is happening at CFTJ as we continue to collect and preserve evidence of gross human rights violations.
Center for Truth and Justice (CFTJ) is an independent nonprofit organization. To maintain our autonomy, we take no money from governments and rely solely on support from private contributors. Your donation will help fund our mission and enable us to continue meeting our goals.
The Center for Truth and Justice was founded to preserve testimonials following the 2020 war in Nagorno-Karabakh, known as Artsakh by Armenians.
Our team is comprised of attorneys and law students in the US, Armenia, and Nagorno-Karabakh, as well as human rights advocates and other professionals dedicated to amplifying the voice of Armenians affected by discrimination, ethnic cleansing, displacement, war crimes, mass atrocities and genocide.
The Center for Truth and Justice collects eyewitness testimonies from survivors of the 2020 Artsakh war. The Center educates and trains teams in Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh on evidence-based interview techniques, compliant with international legal standards.
We preserve evidence and make it accessible for current or future proceedings, whether in Armenia or abroad.
The mission of the Center for Truth and Justice is to be a living memorial to crimes against humanity. By being a permanent home for testimonials, the Center serves to make eyewitness accounts available for study, education, and legal action in order to foster education, empathy, justice and change.
