The Center for Justice and Accountability has pursued many…cases since its founding in 1998, and it has won multimillion-dollar civil verdicts against perpetrators of torture and government-sanctioned killings in El Salvador, Honduras, Chile, Peru, Haiti, Somalia and Bosnia-Herzegovina.”
“CJA has become the leader in the never-ending fight to demonstrate to the world that America has not forgotten its ideals.”
“CJA’s overall goals are some of the finest examples of effective work for justice and human rights we have today.”
“When I testified, a strength came over me. I felt like I was in the prow of a boat and that there were many, many people rowing behind – that they were moving me into this moment. …. Being involved in this case, confronting the Generals with these terrible facts – that’s the best possible therapy a torture survivor could have.”
Survivors of torture around the world will not be silenced. With the help of CJA we are rising up to hold our abusers accountable under the law. CJA’s victories are bringing us closer to a world in which state-sponsored torture is unacceptable.
