Our framework is human rights, international law and the principle of accountability. ## Where do we come from? Hadaf was born from one observation: **the impunity of companies, institutions and individuals here who maintain relationships of complicity with the genocide, occupation and apartheid imposed on Palestine**. Contracts, investments, financing, technology, supply chains and infrastructure remain opaque and uninvestigated. It was founded by people linked to two platforms and a campaign who saw the need to coordinate their efforts. To do so, they set up an association able to raise funds and build the technical expertise needed to sustain the impact of strategic litigation in the long term.

That is why Hadaf’s reach will also depend on our ability to **build alliances**. We work with organisations such as the **European Legal Support Center, the Palestinian Community of Catalonia, Greenpeace, Centre Delàs, ODE and ACO**; social movements such as **Juristas por Palestina, Periodismo Contra el Genocidio** and the campaign**“ End the arms trade with Israel”**; and law firms such as **Col·lectiu Ronda, Arrels Advocats and Salellas Advocats**. We also work with academics, the media, research centres and international strategic litigation networks. For Hadaf, **alliances have a practical purpose**: sharing information and skills, cross-checking investigations, coordinating legal strategies and multiplying impact. We aim to be a **hub of knowledge and action**. ![European Legal Support Center](https://hadaf.es/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/alianza- elsc.png) ![Comunitat Palestina de Catalunya](https://hadaf.es/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ alianza-comunitat-palestina.png) ![Fin al comercio de armas con Israel](https://hadaf.es/wp-content/uploads/2026/ 10/alianza-fin-comercio-armas.png) ![Juristas por Palestina](https://hadaf.es/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/alianza-juristas- palestina.png) ![Periodismo Contra el Genocidio](https://hadaf.es/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/alianza- periodismo-contra-genocidio.png) ![Observatori de Drets Humans i Empreses (ODE)](https://hadaf.es/wp-content/uploads/ 2026/10/alianza-ode.png) ![Centre Delàs d'Estudis per la Pau](https://hadaf.es/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/ alianza-centre-delas.png) ![Acción Contra el Odio (ACO)](https://hadaf.es/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/alianza- aco.png) ![Greenpeace](https://hadaf.es/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/alianza-greenpeace.png) ![Col·lectiu Ronda](https://hadaf.es/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/alianza-collectiu- ronda.png) ![Arrels Advocats](https://hadaf.es/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/alianza-arrels.png) ![Salellas i Associats Advocats](https://hadaf.es/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/alianza- salellas.png) ## Join Hadaf We are looking for professionals and organisations who can contribute knowledge, information and legal capacity.
