The European Centre for Law and Justice (ECLJ) is a Christian legal advocacy group, defending human dignity, liberties, and sovereignty. This implies, inter alia, the defense of life, freedoms of conscience, speech, and religion, the protection of family rights, the integrity of the institutions, subsidiarity and due governance.

Founded in 1998 in Strasbourg, France, our Non-Governmental Organization is committed to advocacy and litigation with European and International institutions, especially the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), also based in Strasbourg, and the United Nations. The ECLJ has held special Consultative Status before the United Nations/ECOSOC since 2007 and is accredited to the European Parliament.

The ECLJ is also committed to raising awareness on these issues.

Founded by Dr Jay Alan Sekulow and Thomas Patrick Monaghan, Esq., the ECLJ opened its official headquarters in Strasbourg, on July 2, 1998. The ECLJ is affiliated with offices in India, Pakistan, the United States, and Zimbabwe, and works with allied lawyers in other countries.

As a non-profit organization, the ECLJ does not charge for its services.
