International Human Rights and Lawfare Advocacy Projects 

The firm also specialises in International Human Rights Law and International Humanitarian Law (IHL).  

A separate department also assists affected parties in constitutional and international human rights related matters. The firm has gained significant insight in respect of international criminal law, universal jurisdiction and South Africa’s domestication of the Rome Statute and implementation of the International Criminal Court Act. 

Our lawfare advocacy projects also advocate the advancement of civil and political rights for displaced and oppressed people in exercising their right to self -determination.  We believe strongly that violators of international law and IHL should be held to account for their most egregious crimes which are perpetrated with impunity against innocent civilians in conflict regions of the world.        

Ziyaad, an international human rights defender and lawfare advocate has substantial experience in working with local and international solidarity-based organisations in representing different rights groups and victims in regions including Africa, Asia, and especially the Middle East / West Asia and occupied Palestine.
