International Centre of Justice for Palestinians

What International Centre of Justice for Palestinians does

The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians (ICJP) is an independent, UK-registered not-for-profit organization composed of lawyers, academics, and politicians that coordinates legal work to promote and protect Palestinian rights. Its core offering is multi-jurisdictional legal coordination across the Middle East, UK, EU, Canada, and USA, executed through a small core staff of approximately ten members (including Director Tayab Ali and Chief Operating Officer Abdelrahman Rizk), an external Chief Counsel (Haydée Dijkstal of 33 Bedford Row Chambers), a Canadian legal team (Asaf Rashid, Jouman El-Asmar, Shane Martínez), and an advisory board of senior figures such as Professor Ghassan Abu Sittah, Professor John Dugard SC, and Layla Moran MP. ICJP's product portfolio spans legal coordination services, policy briefings, fact-checkers, named legal cases (UK Government Arms Exports, Foreign Enlistment Act 1870 application, France lawsuit), advocacy projects (Global 195, UNRWA funding, Restoring the Right to Boycott), and a public events program.

ICJP is not a technology company: it has no proprietary software, APIs, or AI capabilities, and its core technology is described as not applicable. Its go-to-market is a policy and legal-advocacy motion rather than a commercial sales motion, centered on direct engagement with UK government ministers and MPs (e.g., letters to Middle East Minister Stephen Doughty and Defence Secretary Wes Streeting), formal complaints to the UK Charity Commission, coordination with international legal bodies, and conference appearances at the UN Human Rights Council and party conferences.

The organization is funded entirely by donations, with no products or services sold commercially. It exercises influence through media partnerships (notably Middle East Eye), policy publications, and a multi-channel digital presence managed by a dedicated Digital Communications Officer. Revenue figures are not disclosed, and the headcount of 11–50 employees positions it as a small but globally active advocacy NGO rather than a scalable commercial enterprise.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Human Rights Watch: International human rights organisation conducting research and advocacy on global rights issues. Comparable to ICJP in rigorous legal documentation and international advocacy, though its scope spans all rights areas and it operates with a much larger staff.
• Amnesty International: Global human rights organisation with broad mandate covering multiple regions and rights areas. Comparable to ICJP in international legal advocacy and research-based campaigning, but operates at far greater scale and across all rights areas, not just Palestinian rights.

Emerging players

• Jewish Voice for Peace: US-based membership organisation advocating for Palestinian rights and against antisemitism. Thematically comparable to ICJP through its advocacy for Palestinian rights, but operates primarily as a grassroots movement rather than a legal coordination body.

Direct peers

• B'Tselem: Israeli human rights organisation that documents human rights violations in the occupied territories and advocates for international legal accountability. Comparable to ICJP in mandate and use of international law mechanisms, though it is Israel-based rather than UK-based.
• Americans for Justice in Palestine Action (AJPACTION): US-based advocacy and political organising group that lobbies the US Congress on Palestinian rights. Comparable to ICJP in mission and policy-facing advocacy, though focused on US legislative engagement rather than legal coordination.
• Adalah: Legal centre for Arab minority rights in Israel, pursuing strategic litigation and legal advocacy. Comparable to ICJP through its focus on legal mechanisms to protect Palestinian rights, particularly in domestic and international courts.
• Palestine Legal: US-based legal advocacy organisation that defends the rights of people advocating for Palestinian rights, focusing on First Amendment and civil rights protections. Directly comparable to ICJP's legal coordination and defence-of-advocates mandate, though geographically narrower.
• European Legal Support Center (ELSC): European-based legal support centre that provides legal assistance to Palestinian and pro-Palestinian activists facing repression. Closely comparable to ICJP's legal coordination remit in Europe and its work defending supporters from delegitimisation.
• Al-Haq: Palestinian human rights organisation based in Ramallah that documents violations and pursues international legal accountability. Most directly comparable to ICJP as a Palestinian rights-focused legal advocacy NGO operating across multiple jurisdictions.
• Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR): Gaza-based Palestinian human rights organisation that combines documentation, legal aid, and international advocacy. Directly comparable to ICJP in mission (Palestinian rights), legal approach, and cross-border litigation strategy.
