Organized by the Center for Truth and Justice in collaboration with the American University of Armenia, this conference is built on a simple but radical premise: victims are not merely witnesses to international law — they are its moral foundation. When institutions fail, victims continue to speak. When prosecutions stall, trauma continues. When political compromises erase accountability, memory persists. This forum does not place victims as symbolic participants but as the primary interlocutors of the international justice system.

Keep up to date with everything that is happening at CFTJ as we continue to collect and preserve evidence of gross human rights violations.
Center for Truth and Justice (CFTJ) is an independent nonprofit organization. To maintain our autonomy, we take no money from governments and rely solely on support from private contributors. Your donation will help fund our mission and enable us to continue meeting our goals.
The Center for Truth and Justice was founded to preserve testimonials following the 2020 war in Nagorno-Karabakh, known as Artsakh by Armenians.
Our team is comprised of attorneys and law students in the US, Armenia, and Nagorno-Karabakh, as well as human rights advocates and other professionals dedicated to amplifying the voice of Armenians affected by discrimination, ethnic cleansing, displacement, war crimes, mass atrocities and genocide.
The Center for Truth and Justice collects eyewitness testimonies from survivors of the 2020 Artsakh war. The Center educates and trains teams in Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh on evidence-based interview techniques, compliant with international legal standards.
We preserve evidence and make it accessible for current or future proceedings, whether in Armenia or abroad.
The mission of the Center for Truth and Justice is to be a living memorial to crimes against humanity. By being a permanent home for testimonials, the Center serves to make eyewitness accounts available for study, education, and legal action in order to foster education, empathy, justice and change.
