The Open Society Justice Initiative, an operational program of the Open Society Institute, pursues law reform activities grounded in the protection of human rights, and contributes to the development of legal capacity for open societies worldwide. The Justice Initiative combines litigation, legal advocacy, technical assistance, and the dissemination of knowledge to secure advances in the following priority areas: national criminal justice, international justice, freedom of information and expression, and equality and citizenship. Its offices are in Abuja, Budapest, and New York.

The Open Society Justice Initiative maintains its own separate website at: www.justiceinitiative.org.

In 2006, the Justice Initiative continued to combine litigation, public advocacy, and technical assistance to promote human rights. Working with a diverse array of partners and allies, the initiative made a number of important contributions during the year to advancing human rights and increasing access to justice.
