Challenging State killing at community, governmental & intergovernmental levels
Eleos Justice strives to end State killing through collaborative leadership and evidence-informed advocacy at all levels, from addressing high-level bodies such as Australian Parliament and the United Nations Human Rights Council to our public awareness-raising campaigns and events. We provide a safe platform for individuals and organisations advocating for change, and prioritise the building of multi-stakeholder networks throughout the region to share knowledge and advance the cause through strategic engagement and constructive dialogue with policymakers and opinion shapers.
* NEW PROJECT! *
As we approach World Day Against The Death Penalty 2024, Eleos Justice is pleased to announce a new project: MIS/CONCEPTIONS: Eyes on the Death Penalty. We invite individuals and organisations to submit works that, in line with the abolitionist spirit of World Day, cast a light on the death penalty. Submissions will be compiled into a digital magazine available on the Eleos Justice website, as well as being exhibited on the ‘Digital Wall’ at Monash University Malaysia's library.
