Why donate to Civitas Maxima?
Civitas Maxima, founded in 2012, has established itself in less than 9 years as one of the only organizations in the world capable – without any state funding – of legally representing hundreds of victims of crimes against humanity, war crimes, and torture, and of achieving concrete results for these victims (arrests, prosecutions, and convictions).
Unique and innovative in its methodology, our work is recognized by the world’s most renowned private grant-giving foundations in the field of human rights. It is also supported by the generosity and trust of private donors who have the possibility of adhering to our Patrons’ Club or donating online.
As an acknowledgement of Civitas Maxima’s exemplary legal work, the Geneva Bar Association awarded its director, Alain Werner, the “Bâtonnier Michel Halpérin de l’Excellence” prize in April 2019. In November 2020, Mr. Werner was selected as an Ashoka fellow, the world’s biggest network of social entrepreneurs and change leaders. This fellowship is an important recognition of the unique modus operandi of Civitas Maxima, and highlights the innovative method applied by Civitas Maxima and the GJRP.
