Global Justice Center
Anti-Israel sentiment within international institutions forms the narratives that reach classrooms, courtrooms, and fuels antisemitism worldwide. JIJ goes on the offensive. We bring rigorous research, firsthand survivor testimony, forensic evidence, and expert legal advocacy directly to the forums where the bias begins.

To dismantle atrocity denial and global propaganda, we document Hamas’ atrocities and share them with global audiences.

JIJ Podcast
Two Lawyers, Three Opinions
Legal analysis from the frontlines of international lawfare, with JIJ attorneys Uri Morad and Monique Beadle.
Podcast
Anti-Israel propaganda drives the ratings in newsrooms and feeds the algorithm on social media, instigating antisemitic violence in the streets. Our podcast, Two Lawyers, Three Opinions, dissects international lawfare and anti-Israel bias at the UN with fearless analysis you will not find in mainstream media coverage.
Internships
We are not just fighting today’s battles; we are building an elite legal vanguard. JIJ has trained 462 young legal scholars to understand pressing human rights and humanitarian issues, and combat antisemitism in their 21 home countries. Interns contribute to JIJ’s legal reports, policy papers, UN oral statements, international advocacy campaigns, social media content, videos, and visual communications, directly contributing to JIJ’s advocacy before the United Nations, the courts of The Hague, and the EU. During the recent conflict alone, we deployed 35 war-time interns to help us fight the information war on digital platforms.
Frontline 2
$100 million of the UN’s budget funds entities and mechanisms that delegitimize Israel, while ignoring and erasing the trauma of October 7th. 80% of the UN General Assembly’s resolutions target a single member state: Israel. Current and former UN Secretaries General admit the bias is real:
Decades of political maneuvering have created a disproportionate number of resolutions, reports and committees against Israel. In many cases, rather than helping the Palestinian cause, this reality has hampered the ability of the UN to fulfill its role effectively.
Ban Ki-moonFormer UN Secretary-General
Supporters of Israel feel that it is harshly judged by standards that are not applied to its enemies. And too often this is true, particularly in some UN bodies.
Kofi AnnanFormer UN Secretary-General
We have independent rapporteurs and we have many that are totally out of control.
António GuterresUN Secretary-General
Instead of boycotting a hostile institution, JIJ leverages our UN Special Consultative Status to engage the system strategically. We deploy elite legal advocates, unredacted forensic evidence, and firsthand survivor testimony directly to senior UN diplomats and staff. Every report we file, every survivor we bring to testify, pushes back against a narrative built to erase them. Our professionalism precedes us, forcing even deeply biased mandate holders to engage with our research and reports.
Survivor Testimony at the UN
“With JIJ at the helm, I have hope. Hope that we can finally bring justice to the victims and survivors of the October 7th massacres.”
– Yuval Raphael, October 7 Survivor
Geneva · December 5, 2023
JIJ was the first Israeli organization to bring forensic and eyewitness testimony of the October 7th atrocities to UN Headquarters in Geneva. On December 5, 2023, we arranged a delegation of first responders, who personally handled the bodies of victims, to meet with senior UN officials. Together, we presented a searing report that painstakingly catalogued Hamas’ war crimes and genocidal campaign of violence against Israelis: intentional targeting of civilians, home invasions, hostage-taking, sexual violence, and indiscriminate rocket fire. 3 months later, we convened a gathering of diplomats from 40 countries to hear survivor testimony and a legal analysis of Hamas’ genocide. These meetings directly challenged the UN’s indifference to the plight of Israeli civilians, and triggered high level investigations, leading the UN to finally recognize Hamas as a perpetrator of mass sexual violence.
The UN still hasn’t designated Hamas as a terrorist organization. Instead, it keeps Hamas militants on its payroll, and ignores their tunnel network, their abuse of Gazan civilians, indoctrination and recruitment of child soldiers. JIJ responded by rallying a bipartisan group of 34 U.S. Senators to demand that the UN recognize Hamas as a terror organization. We have also exposed ties between Hamas and the UN agency UNRWA, including staff implicated in the October 7 attacks and the captivity of Israeli hostages, and pressed major donors, like the European Union, to cut UNRWA’s funding. Beyond the UN system, JIJ led a global coalition of 50 organizations pressing the International Committee of the Red Cross to stop its anti-Israel campaign while Israeli hostages remained in Hamas captivity.

We use international legal systems to challenge hatred, confront institutional lawfare, and defend the fundamental freedoms of Jewish and pro-Israel voices worldwide.
Through strategic litigation, we turn individual cases into broader victories for civil liberties and accountability:
International Criminal Court
Before JIJ intervened, the ICC’s investigation in the Middle East primarily targeted Israeli officials. Between 2017 and 2019, JIJ submitted a series of meticulous criminal complaints directly to then-Chief Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda. We exposed the Palestinian Authority's systematic torture of its own citizens, and Hamas's brutal militarization of child soldiers and use of human shields. These reports compelled the Prosecutor’s office to investigate the war crimes and crimes against humanity of Palestinian terror leaders.
When the ICC’s next Prosecutor, Karim Khan, sought arrest warrants against Israeli leaders only, JIJ was one of 70 organizations and states permitted to brief the court, arguing in defense of Israeli civilians and their rights.
Antisemitic incitement
We pursued direct legal action after a municipal peace officer posted antisemitic threats online, including a desire to kill Jews "one by one". This established the legal precedent that antisemitic incitement carries severe legal consequences, and that organizations dedicated to combating hatred have the legal standing to defend the communities they serve.
Right to demonstrate
We supported and secured the successful legal defense of a Jewish activist prosecuted following a pro-Israel demonstration in Warsaw. We won in both trial and appellate courts, affirming the police’s duty to protect, not suppress, peaceful demonstrators.
