International Bridges to Justice (IBJ) in Geneva, Switzerland

Abstract

This summer, Michelle will spend her time working for International Bridges to Justice (IBJ) at their Geneva, Switzerland headquarters. IBJ is a non-governmental organization with the mission of ending the use of torture as an investigative tool within our lifetimes. IBJ’s work includes providing legal aid to indigent defendants; providing legal rights education to police, prosecutors, judges, and citizens; and maintaining a presence in supported countries (such as Cambodia, China, India, Rwanda, etc.) through the use of local Fellows. Michelle will spend time studying data on the use of torture in those countries; managing data on the investigative training police officers in those countries receive; and assisting with training programs for attorneys.
