Our Projects - In Need of Support

Amplifying Victims Voice

Establishing a Victims Gallery to document and remember the stories of victims of core international crimes. Showcasing images, videos, and testimonials collected through ethical and reliable sources. Through this project, ITJP aims to empower victims by amplifying their voices and raising awareness about human rights violations.

Uncovering Core International Crimes

Conducting impartial research and documentation into core international crimes, such as genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity in Afghanistan. ITJP recruits experts and establishes an online portal to document reports, engage in dialogue with organizations, and lobby for support and justice.

Human Rights Training and Resources

Establishing a comprehensive Resource Center on core international crimes and human rights abuses. Providing victims with crucial education and awareness while offering researchers and policy makers access to recent research and documents. Empowering advocacy for justice and lasting peace.

Financial Humanitarian Assistance

We provide two types of financial assistance: Emergency Assistance and Humanitarian Assistance for Afghan prosecutors fleeing the Taliban or facing severe threats. Both aim to support those in financial distress, with distinct eligibility criteria. The Emergency Assistance Fund for Afghan Prosecutors, postponed on March 30, 2024, addresses urgent needs in the winter season. We are raising funds through the Prosecutors for Prosecutors campaign to support Afghan prosecutors at risk. To help sustain this fund, please consider donating.

 

The Humanitarian Financial Assistance program is specifically designed to support those in the USRAP (U.S. Refugee Admissions Program) pipeline for resettlement in the United States. This includes individuals with active case currently residing in Pakistan or Afghanistan, awaiting case processing and relocation to the US. Assistance is assessed on a case-by-case basis and does not exceed $500 per month for a maximum of six months.

Eligibility Criteria:

 

Prosecutors or justice personnel who lost their jobs after the fall of the Afghan government.

Afghan nationals residing in Pakistan or Afghanistan.

Under the USRAP pipeline for case processing.

Facing imminent threats or critical circumstances requiring assistance.

Not receiving similar assistance from other organizations within the past year

Report Crimes

You can—and should—report human rights abuses. Even if they are not prosecuted, publicity or the prospect of an investigation can restrain the perpetrators.

Reporting on international crimes, especially war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, and human rights abuses, helps us identify and document these crimes and strives to bring perpetrators to justice. We can still play an essential role in ending crimes and ensuring fairness and lasting peace worldwide by reporting and documenting crimes.

Honoring Glenn Selig

(Nov 7, 1967 — Jan 21, 2018)

We remember Glenn Selig, a dedicated crisis manager and former investigative reporter for Tampa’s FOX 13 News, as well as numerous Afghans, Americans, and thousands of civilians who lost their lives in a terrorist attack at the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul, Afghanistan, on January 20, 2018. Glenn was a tireless professional, loyal friend, loving husband, and devoted father. His mission in Kabul was to highlight Afghanistan’s progress in countering extremism and supporting democratic initiatives.

 

The attack, carried out by the Taliban’s Haqqani Network, underscores Afghanistan’s brutal challenges. Sirajuddin Haqqani, the network’s leader, currently serves as the Taliban’s Minister of Interior, enjoying power and impunity.

 

Glenn’s legacy inspires ITJP’s commitment to justice for all victims of such atrocities.
