The Strategic Litigation Center is an independent platform documenting and advancing strategic litigation before the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) and United Nations human rights mechanisms.
Founded by Kurtuluş Baştimar, the Center brings together litigation work carried out since 2018, focusing on cases that aim to address systemic human rights violations, contribute to the development of international human rights standards, and support broader structural change beyond individual remedies.
The platform highlights cases with precedent-setting potential and complements litigation with analytical reports and publications that translate legal outcomes into practical knowledge for civil society and policy actors.
Through sustained engagement with international mechanisms, the Strategic Litigation Center seeks to serve as a reliable partner for funders supporting strategic human rights litigation, particularly in restrictive and high-risk contexts.
