About Us
The Institute for Justice & Democracy (IJDH) in Haiti and the Bureau des Avocats Internationaux (BAI) have over 20 years of demonstrated success enforcing Haitians’ human rights, in Haiti and abroad.
We work in four areas:
1) impact litigation that opens the doors of Haitian, international and U.S. courts to precedent-setting human rights cases;
2) documentation that provides public officials, human rights advocates and grassroots activists the reliable information they need to speak up for human rights in Haiti;
3) transnational grassroots advocacy that compels governments and powerful institutions in Haiti and abroad to respect Haitians’ human rights; and
4) systemic capacity building that develops a corps of Haitian human rights lawyers and advocates trained to fight for sustainable change in their country.

Translation
Are you fluent in French and/or Kreyol? IJDH needs you. We have a great need for people who can translate both from French and/or Kreyol into English, and vice versa. Some knowledge of and/or familiarity with legal terms is helpful for many documents, but not all. If you have experience translating and are readily available by email, please CONTACT us.
