The African Centre for Justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization working to monitor and promote respect for human rights and legal reform in Sudan.
ACJPS has a vision of a Sudan where all people can live and prosper free from fear and want in a state committed to justice, equality and peace.
Their Mission
ACJPS is dedicated to creating a Sudan committed to all human rights, the rule of law and peace, in which the rights and freedoms of the individual are honored and where all persons and groups are granted their rights to non-discrimination, equality and justice.
Their Objectives
Their Approach
Since its inception in 2009 ACJPS has performed vital human rights monitoring and protection functions and has built a solid reputation for the credibility, impartiality and professionalism of its work. ACJPS has also played a vital role in providing technical support and training to new civil society organisations and informal activist networks.
The expulsions and suspensions of international and national civil society groups in Sudan after the March 2009 decision by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue an arrest warrant for President al-Bashir severely curtailed the ability of groups within Sudan to openly monitor the human rights situation in the country. However, through the expertise of their staff and their networks throughout Sudan, ACJPS is uniquely positioned to conduct monitoring, legal, and advocacy functions.
ACJPS works with dedicated networks and partners inside and outside Sudan to achieve its goals, build alliances and strengthen the impact of its work.
Through the expertise of their staff and networks, ACJPS is uniquely positioned to monitor and strengthen respect for human rights in Sudan.
