International Bridges to Justice (IBJ) in Geneva, Switzerland
Abstract
Evan will spend this summer working for International Bridges to Justice (IBJ) in Geneva, Switzerland. IBJ is a non-governmental organization who strives to guarantee all citizens the right to competent legal representation, the right to be protected from torture, and the right to a fair trial. Operating in six countries around the world, IBJ provides training manuals, legal information, case law and other resources to lawyers in developing countries to support and create a sufficient number of trained public defenders and criminal defense aid workers. IBJ seeks to achieve a world where each and every person is knowledgeable about their rights and demands those rights to be upheld and a world where international human rights standards are present in every day applications of the law.
