The three pillars of the ECLJ mission are Dignity, Liberties, and Sovereignty.

The European Centre for Law and Justice is a “pro-life” organization, defending human life against abortion and euthanasia, in courts and parliaments.

The ECLJ also defends human dignity in relation to prostitution and pornography. We act to support legislative initiatives aimed at protecting the victims of these practices and to oppose the lobbies pushing for their liberalization.

The ECLJ defends especially religious freedoms, freedoms of conscience and speech, as well as the rights and liberties of the parents in relation to their children and education.

The ECLJ represents and defends Christians in Europe and all around the globe, along with its affiliate organizations. We defend freedom, the right to worship, to preach, to convert, as well as the freedom of religious organizations in their relationships with governments.

The ECLJ also defends the natural and fundamental rights of the parents to educate their children according to their religious beliefs and respecting decent morality.

The ECLJ is fighting for freedom of conscience and conscientious objection, in order to protect the right of individuals and groups not to be forced to act against justice. Freedom of conscience is defended especially in the medical fields and in education.

It is not sufficient to defend dignity and liberties if the people have no capacity to understand where and how the decisions are taken. We believe European and international organizations should not be abused to impose controversial views on the people.

Therefore, the ECLJ is committed to defending the political freedoms of the people:

• from excessive complexity and opacity of the international institutions;
• from the corruption and capture of international institutions by supranational powers;
• from mass migrations and insecurity.

The ECLJ uses all legal avenues available to defend its causes, through litigation, advocacy, publication, and education.

The ECLJ defends and promotes its causes at the United Nations through the various mechanisms available to NGO such as interventions before the Human Rights Council, submission to the Universal Periodic Review, etc.

The ECLJ also monitors the cases pending before national courts, and especially the ECHR, and submits third parties “amicus brief“, when confronted with a strategic case. The purpose of those briefs is to provide the judges with a clear and just understanding of the legal issues at stake.

The ECLJ also assists Members of Governments and Parliaments in the provision of legislative amendments, advisory opinions, resolutions, etc.

The ECLJ meets with officials, diplomats, organizes conferences, and gives testimonies before national and European parliament, the Council of Europe and the United Nations.

The ECLJ represents victims before the European Court of Human Rights, and the committees of the United Nations. As an NGO, and with associate lawyers, we represent individual victims, such as parents, Christian ministers, organizations and churches, health professionals, persons with disabilities, etc.

The ECLJ has taken part to over 80 cases before the ECtHR since 1998.

If you believe that your rights have been violated, you can contact the ECLJ by email. Please note that the ECLJ can only take action in the legal rights listed above.

The ECLJ has high academic standards in its work and seeks to be an academic reference in its field of expertise. The ECLJ is working on controversial issues and wants therefore to develop the strongest arguments, and to consolidate the legal doctrine, in order to reinforce the proper protection on the rights and liberties we are defending.

To that end, the ECLJ staff publishes academic books and articles in peer reviewed law journals. Some members of the ECLJ have a PhD and teach in law schools.

The ECLJ also produces “Reports” in order to analyse and expose in depth specific issues to the decision makers, the media, and the people.

It is highly important to share our knowledge and analysis with the people, so that they are aware of the important decisions we are working on and that will eventually impact them. Informing and educating people is a condition to defend people true political freedom, so that they can know what’s going on at the European and International level.

The ECLJ gives conferences, publishes articles in national media, gives interviews, etc.
