Syrians For Truth And Justice

What Syrians For Truth And Justice does

Syrians for Truth and Justice (STJ) is an independent, non-profit, non-governmental human rights organization legally established in 2016 (with the founding concept originating in 2015 during a U.S. Middle-East Partnership Initiative fellowship). It is licensed in both the Middle East and the European Union and operates from Paris, France, with a workforce in the 11–50 employee band. STJ's mission is the systematic documentation of human rights violations committed against Syrians since 2011, the dissemination of a human rights culture, and the pursuit of justice and accountability through transitional processes.\n\nThe organization's core technology stack is a private database of human rights violations, built up through field research, evidence gathering, and the collection of victim testimonies. On top of this dataset, STJ publishes human rights journalism (reports, facts tracker, recorded and written stories), in-depth investigative reports, press releases and statements, and legal reports including commentaries and dispatches. It also runs capacity-building projects such as Syria's Constitutional Process (monitoring and contributing to Syria's constitutional dialogue) and a Digital Security initiative for activists and communities. STJ does not have a public product, application, or API; distribution is via website downloads, social channels (Facebook, X/Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Telegram), newsletter, and direct engagement with UN Human Rights Council bodies, special rapporteurs, and international forums such as the Brussels Conference.\n\nSTJ's business model is a non-commercial, grant-funded NGO model: it does not charge for services and is financed by institutional donors — most prominently the European Union (which funds multiple publications and projects) and Legal Action Worldwide for specific outputs — alongside strategic partnerships with Ceasefire Centre for Civilian Rights, the International Institute for Missing Persons, and Syrian victims' associations including Synergy Association and Dar Association. Customer-facing segments are victims of human rights violations in Syria, Syrian civil society organizations, UN bodies and policymakers, and local communities and activists receiving capacity-building support.
