STRATEGIC LITIGATION GUIDE

ILAAD's Strategic Litigation Guide presents when and how to send complaints with ILAAD to the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD). 

 

It is intended for legal practitioners, NGOs, and activists partnering with ILAAD to help them in using the procedures of the WGAD available to them as part of their international defense and advocacy strategies on behalf of victims of arbitrary detention. 

 

The first part highlights the specificities of the WGAD, while the second part explains ILAAD’s strategic litigation approach of arbitrary detention cases, focusing on coordinated litigation and advocacy, both at the national and international level. Finally, the third part explains the process and steps for sending a complaint with ILAAD, with a specific focus on gathering information about the detention.

 

Readers will also find in the Annex section ILAAD’s Arbitrary Detention Form and the WGAD Consent Form.
