The Norwegian Helsinki Committee joins the The Global Initiative Against Impunity (GIAI) in marking this year’s EU Day Against Impunity with grave concern as international justice and accountability face escalating threats and direct attacks. Armed conflicts, state violence, and mass atrocities are on the rise across the globe, while many governments and international institutions remain largely silent in the face of widespread impunity and the increasing application of double standards. This selective inaction undermines the rights of victims and reinforces narratives that dehumanise the survivors of the most serious crimes.
The Global Initiative Against Impunity for international crimes: Making justice work (GIAI) is a Consortium of eight international NGOs and the Coalition for the ICC, co-funded by the European Union, which aims to contribute to the fight against impunity by supporting a comprehensive, integrated, and inclusive approach to justice and accountability for serious human rights violations and international crimes. Driven by this commitment, the initiative today launched the GIAI Knowledge Management Platform, an inclusive, multilingual digital clearing house for collaboration, learning, and information sharing.
