About the Expedite Justice (PEJ) project

Project Expedite Justice (PEJ), founded in 2016, is a non-governmental organization (NGO) headquartered in the United States that has charitable status under section 501(c)(3).

PEJ’s mission is to use all available legal avenues to achieve justice for individuals who lack adequate protection from the law, are denied access to legal resources, and are exploited by governments, corporations, or other entities.

PEJ is taking a new approach to investigating mass atrocities, focusing on the interests of victims. PEJ’s three-step model includes training, mentoring, and independent legal advice. We partner with local lawyers and investigators and train them to collect, analyze, and preserve evidence in accordance with international legal standards. Without evidence, accountability is impossible. We also build local capacity and advance the justice process by mentoring local legal practitioners and investigators on specific cases and providing strategic guidance. Finally, we partner with local NGOs, pro bono law firms, and legal clinics to represent victims of international crimes and serious human rights violations in court or through alternative justice mechanisms.

PEJ implements projects in several countries. Our inclusive team consists of professionals working remotely from Africa, Asia, Europe, South America and the United States. We are deeply committed to expanding opportunities for lawyers and other human rights defenders from the global majority or Global South to engage in international non-profit work based on the rule of law. Candidates from global majority countries are strongly encouraged to apply for this position.

About the Justice Bootcamps project

The Justice Bootcamps project is a national program aimed at strengthening the practices of police, prosecutors, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), and judges (hereinafter referred to as “justice sector actors”) in four frontline regions with the highest number of war crimes allegations. The initiative provides targeted workshops, technical assistance, and operational support directly to justice sector actors handling war crimes and crimes against humanity cases. The PEJ approach provides immediate, targeted skills development that builds capacity and equips frontline justice sector actors to prosecute Russian international crimes.

The project structure is built around two complementary goals:

1. Strengthening the capacity of frontline police, prosecutors, and judiciary through intensive practical bootcamps and ongoing expert support.
2. Institutionalizing knowledge and skills in Ukrainian justice institutions to promote long-term sustainability, professional development, and inter-agency cooperation.

Recognizing that needs vary by region, the project adapts its activities to address priority challenges in each participating region. Through a practical, learn-by-doing methodology, Justice Bootcamps supports justice sector actors in strengthening their capacity to investigate, prosecute, and adjudicate war crimes and crimes against humanity cases, helping to ensure effective access to justice for victims in Ukraine.
