Graphics Designer

About Us The Platform for Peace and Humanity was established with the belief that a more peaceful world is possible. Founded in Slovakia in 2016, the Platform draws on Czechoslovakia’s historical experiences with totalitarian regimes, occupation and conflict, as well as its peaceful transition into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Being aware of the necessity of standing against violations of international law, including illegal acts of aggression, the Platform’s first initiative was to advocate for a stronger international response to the crime of aggression by the International Criminal Court. Slovakia and the Czech Republic stand out globally for enshrining an unconditional model of universal jurisdiction, allowing for the prosecution of individuals for serious international crimes—such as genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity—regardless of where the crime occurred or the nationality of the perpetrator or victim. The Platform has actively supported this principle, submitting cases to investigators and representing victims based on universal jurisdiction, such as for crimes against humanity and war crimes committed in Ukraine. Our Purpose The Platform for Peace and Humanity exists to promote, advance, and achieve sustainable international peace through the mutual effort, passion, and commitment of like-minded individuals dedicated to our shared humanity. Our Goals To deliver justice for victims and survivors of conflict-related violence and other human rights violations. To support institutions, organisations, and individuals that work toward sustainable peace and social justice. Our approach We investigate abuses and invoke international and domestic accountability mechanisms through legal assistance, litigation, advocacy, and documenting violations of international law and human rights. We engage in monitoring, research, and analysis of the humanitarian implications of current conflicts, violations of international law, and the structural vulnerabilities that prevent the realisation of human rights around the world. We collaborate with institutions, organisations, and individuals who share our commitment to promoting sustainable peace, social justice, and human rights worldwide.
