Our Mission
To conduct rigorous and independent research, documentation, and legal analysis concerning human rights violations, democratic erosion, and institutional failures; to strengthen public understanding of accountability mechanisms; and to support justice, constitutional governance, and democratic restoration through evidence-based engagement with regional and international institutions.
Our Core Values
Independence
Free from governmental, partisan, commercial, or personal influence. We answer only to evidence and principle.
Rigour
Every report, submission, and publication is held to the highest standards of factual accuracy and methodological integrity.
Accountability
We hold ourselves to the same standards we demand of others—transparent governance, regular reporting, and open processes.
Solidarity
Rooted in the Ugandan experience, working in solidarity with all those who bear the cost of impunity and the absence of justice.
Our work & Mandate
iJA publishes legal analyses, press statements, advocacy submissions, and breach reports — grounded in evidence, open to scrutiny, built to last. Share any publication directly to social media.
