Honored by the Santa Clara County DA and U.S. District Attorneys for our dedication to integrity and service, we were recognized at the 'Prosecutors for Prosecutors' conference in Salt Lake City on July 27, 2023, for amplifying Afghan prosecutors' voices.

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.

Emergency Financial Assistance

The one-time Emergency Assistance Fund for Afghan Prosecutors and Justice Personnel, intended for the winter season, has been pending since March 30, 2024. As a founding organization, we are actively working with our partners to raise funds for the ‘Prosecutors for Prosecutors’ campaign. Our goal is to advocate and provide support to Afghan prosecutors and justice personnel who have been left behind and are facing significicant threats. 

 If you believe that we should continue our emergency financial fund for Afghan prosecutors who are in dire need in Afghanistan and neighboring countries, please donate below to support our cause.

 

Your contribution can significantly impact the lives of those in need.

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.
