Iranian Collective for Justice & Accountability (ICJA)
The Iranian Collective for Justice & Accountability was founded to promote human rights and accountability for all Iranians. In the wake of the Women, Life, Freedom movement, ICJA recognizes that Iran is at a pivotal moment in its history. The country is experiencing a shift in political discourse and cultural identity, with the potential for a new form of governance. ICJA advocates for a structured approach to confronting state-sponsored crimes—one that is grounded in truth, justice, and accountability. ICJA believes that any future government in Iran must be built on a foundation of truth and justice. This includes holding perpetrators accountable for past crimes and ensuring access to justice for all victims.
