GLOBAL LEGAL ACTION NETWORK

Global Legal Action Network (GLAN) is an independent, not-for-profit organisation that partners with affected communities to launch cross-border legal actions against states and powerful actors responsible for systemic human-rights violations and environmental harm. Drawing on a network of lawyers and investigators, GLAN combines rigorous investigation with strategic litigation to hold perpetrators to account and to enforce international human-rights standards.

The organisation's work concentrates on three core areas: accountability for atrocity crimes, climate-justice and environmental protection, and abuses within global value chains. By collaborating with grassroots groups across the Caribbean, Europe and beyond, GLAN pursues innovative legal remedies-ranging from challenging illegal land grabs to confronting corporate complicity in war crimes and climate-related damages. Its team operates from offices in Ireland and the United Kingdom, serving a worldwide constituency of communities seeking justice.

Through regular reports, news updates and a public newsletter, GLAN keeps stakeholders informed of landmark cases and emerging opportunities to advance human-rights and environmental law on a global scale.
