Team

The Natural Justice team is comprised of a diverse group of people and partners with collective expertise in many different disciplines and thematic areas, as well as practical experience in all regions. We currently have 6 full-time staff members who function as a collective and work closely with each other on virtually all aspects of our work. Eight associates around the world provide a network of skills and expertise and contribute to our work on an ad hoc basis, particularly through the provision of technical advice.

Two international advisors act in an honorary capacity to assist Natural Justice with key areas of legal advice and strategic organizational management. We have a wide array of partners with whom we collaborate closely on various aspects of our work, including community-based organizations, non-profit organizations and networks, intergovernmental organizations, academic institutions, and government agencies. We are also members of several networks and observers to three multilateral processes. Last, but certainly not least, we have hosted 10 students and recent graduates in our Cape Town office as interns and volunteers. They have participated in activities such as communications, workshops, desktop legal research, and supporting community-based organizations.
