ABOUT
We offer a unique, global legal strategy for the direct victims, ending impunity of atrocities committing by Hamas and their accomplices on and since October 7, 2023
Justice without Borders, under the banner of Unconditional Humanity
October 7 - Justice Without Borders provides international legal representation at no cost to the affected of the atrocities committed on October 7, including survivors, families of the missing, hostages, and those who were murdered. Our mission is to lead an innovative legal front based on evidence, tailored to the unique needs of each injured, and committed to ensuring justice, truth, and recognition.
Since October 7, we have built a dedicated team including expert lawyers, injured, survivors, and international legal professionals. In every jurisdiction, we establish partnerships with local attorneys and organizations capable of preserving evidence, conducting investigations, and supporting legal proceedings. We lead criminal and civil lawsuits against states supporting terrorism and corporate entities funding terrorist infrastructure under the principle of justice without borders. Our organization focuses on the most severe international crimes: war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. We aim to bring justice to the affected of the October 7 atrocities, both in Israel and worldwide, drawing inspiration from the legacy of the Nuremberg Trials and fulfilling the historic promise of "Never Again."
October 7 - Justice Without Borders is an independent, non-political organization operating with a sense of universal responsibility. We do not receive government funding and instead rely on resources from civil society, partnering with those committed to the universal values of justice, truth, and human rights.
