About Open Society Justice Initiative
The Open Society Justice Initiative is an operational program of the Open Society Foundations, set up in 2003 to supply legal expertise for the wider aims of that network. It describes itself as a public interest law center that pursues human rights and rule-of-law goals through litigation, advocacy, research and technical assistance. Its lawyers have appeared for individuals and groups before national and international courts and tribunals. A court filing describes the initiative as a tax-exempt, non-partisan, not-for-profit organization headquartered in New York City.
Its stated areas of work include accountability for international crimes, racial discrimination and statelessness, criminal justice reform, abuses linked to national security and counterterrorism, freedom of information and expression, and corruption tied to natural resources. Its current website groups its work under economic power, democratic practice and international justice. In New York, the Open Society Foundations' New York office serves as its parent network's main grant-giving center, and a court filing lists the initiative's address at 224 West 57th Street.
