Global Legal Action Network

Global Legal Action Network (GLAN) is an independent non-profit organisation made up of lawyers, investigators and campaigners. It pursues legal action against powerful actors involved in serious human rights violations and environmental harms, working across borders with international and local grassroots organisations. Its team is spread across multiple countries, with offices in Ireland and the UK. GLAN works with affected communities to pursue innovative legal actions across borders, challenging states and other powerful actors involved with systemic injustice, and describes its vision as justice across borders.

GLAN was established to counter the impunity enjoyed by powerful states and corporations that exploit borders and international systems to hide wealth, evade responsibility and dodge accountability. Working with communities, GLAN provides a platform to identify and develop legal strategies by combining legal and investigatory expertise. Its stated focus areas include accountability for atrocity crimes, environment and climate change, and abuses in value chains.

A non-profit organisation using the law to challenge impunity and build a global movement to hold those in power accountable.
