Independent association of lawyers and journalists

Justice for Palestine

We investigate and bring to justice those who make Israel’s genocide, occupation and apartheid against the Palestinian people possible. We turn impunity into legal action and accountability.

What is Hadaf?

Hadaf means “objective”, “goal” or “purpose” in Arabic.

We start from a very simple idea: violence is not sustained only by those who carry it out directly. There are also economic, financial, technological, institutional and political structures that make it possible or help to keep it going.

Hadaf was founded to investigate those structures, identify who is responsible and turn impunity into legal action and accountability.

Research

Law
