No Peace Without Justice

What No Peace Without Justice does

No Peace Without Justice (NPWJ) is an international non-profit organization founded in 1993 by Emma Bonino and Marco Pannella, originating from a 1993 campaign of the Transnational Radical Party. Headquartered in Rome, Italy (Via C.B. Vaccolini 5, 00153 Rome), with a second office in Brussels, Belgium (Rue de la Loi 62, 1040 Brussels), the organization works for the protection and promotion of human rights, democracy, the rule of law, and international justice across Europe, the Americas, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia/Pacific. Its legal entity name in Italy is Non c'è Pace Senza Giustizia (NPSG). The organization celebrated its 30th anniversary on 18 May 2024 with an international conference in Rome.

NPWJ's core activity is advocacy through six flagship campaigns — Strengthening the Work of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Amazonia Beyond the Crisis, Promoting Justice and the Rule of Law in Libya, Gender and Human Rights, Supporting Dissenting Voices in the MENA Region, and Ensuring a Space for the Rohingya to Be Heard — supplemented by project-based initiatives such as the DROIT Project for Lebanese penitentiary reform. The organization does not offer a technology product or platform; its outputs are press releases, news digests, policy publications, UN submissions (including Universal Periodic Review contributions), events and workshops, and coalition statements distributed through its website (npwj.org), social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, YouTube), Radio Radicale, and email newsletter. It holds consultative status at UN ECOSOC and is a member of the Coalition for the International Criminal Court (CICC), with operational partnerships spanning the Nando and Elsa Peretti Foundation, COICA, UNDP, UNSMIL/OHCHR, UN Women, the European Union, the Italian Government, and others.

As an international NGO, NPWJ is funded by donations and grants from foundations, governments, and individuals. It does not sell products or services, does not have publicly disclosed revenue, and reports no investment funding rounds. Leadership comprises Secretary General Niccolò Figà-Talamanca, Director of International Justice Alison Smith, Director of Operations and Secretary of the International Committee Gianluca Eramo, Press & Public Affairs Coordinator Nicola Giovannini, Amazonia Project Associate Juan Guzman, and MENA Regional Representative Frej Fenniche, alongside co-founders Emma Bonino and Marco Pannella.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Amnesty International: Global human rights NGO conducting research, advocacy, and campaigns on a wide range of rights issues. Comparable to NPWJ in mission and UN-facing advocacy, but vastly larger in budget, headcount, and geographic reach, and broader in thematic scope.
• Human Rights Watch: Major international human rights organization producing investigative reports and advocacy on rights violations worldwide. Like NPWJ, it engages with UN mechanisms and international justice institutions, but operates at substantially greater scale and with a research-led model.

Direct peers

• REDRESS: UK-based international human rights NGO focused on torture survival, reparations, and international criminal justice litigation. Directly comparable in international justice advocacy and UN mechanism engagement, with overlapping ICC and accountability themes to NPWJ.
• International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH): Paris-based federation of 192 human rights organizations conducting international advocacy, including on international criminal justice and counter-impunity. Highly comparable to NPWJ in advocacy methodology, ICC focus, and coalition-based operating model.
• Article 19: International freedom of expression and information rights organization that combines advocacy, litigation, and coalition-building. Comparable to NPWJ in scale, international justice and rights advocacy methodology, and UN-facing operating model.
• ECRE (European Council on Refugees and Exiles): Brussels-based pan-European network of 104 NGOs advocating for refugee and asylum rights, with strong EU policy advocacy. Comparable to NPWJ in advocacy methodology, EU-institution engagement, and coalition-based operating model, though focused on forced-migration rights.
• International Crisis Group: Independent international conflict-prevention organization producing field-based analysis and policy advocacy on conflicts in the MENA, Africa, and Latin America. Comparable to NPWJ in its geographic focus on Libya, MENA, and Amazonia and its advocacy engagement with international institutions.
• Coalition for the International Criminal Court (CICC): Coalition of 200+ NGOs, including NPWJ itself, working to strengthen international criminal justice and the ICC. Directly comparable as both a peer advocacy network and an active collaborator of NPWJ on joint ICC-related statements and campaigns.

Emerging players

• WITNESS: International human rights organization focused on using video and technology to document rights abuses for justice and accountability. Comparable to NPWJ as a niche international-justice-focused NGO, though differentiated by its video-tech specialization.
• Nonviolent Peaceforce: International NGO deploying civilian peacekeepers to conflict zones for civilian protection. Thematically adjacent to NPWJ's conflict-and-protection focus in Libya and MENA, though NPWJ engages through advocacy while Nonviolent Peaceforce deploys personnel on the ground.
