2. International Bridges to
Justice
Message from IBJ’s Founder and CEO – Karen
Tse
You are invited to join an urgent cause that is mobilizing
the exceptional leadership and commitment of lawyers to
strengthen the rule of law in Southeast Asia and beyond.
Please join your peers in Singapore’s business and legal
communities in becoming a corporate sponsor of
International Bridges to Justice’s
Singapore Gala and Auction on 20 November,
2012 at the Grand Hyatt.
International Bridges to Justice (IBJ) is a non‐profit, non‐governmental organization
incorporated in the United States that is dedicated to empowering lawyers to protect
the basic legal rights of ordinary individuals around the world. Specifically, IBJ works
to guarantee everyone in these countries the right to competent legal representation
and the right to a fair trial. Within Asia, IBJ has well-established programs in China,
Cambodia, and India.
We expect more than 200 guests will attend, drawn from major law firms, academia,
multinational corporations and the diplomatic community from both Singapore and the
rest of the region. This event will provide IBJ with the resources it needs to help the
Justice Training Centre continue its vital work in the region.
Your generosity as a sponsor will significantly boost IBJ’s efforts to enhance rule of
law in judicial systems in developing countries and to ensure access to justice for
ordinary citizens.
We hope you will join us in showcasing Singapore as an inspiring model for progress
in the region.
Karen I. Tse
Founder & CEO

3. Who we are
In 2010, IBJ Singapore was awarded funding from the Lien Foundation to
establish a Justice Training Centre in Singapore that is serving as a
regional hub to manage our projects in Southeast Asia. Additionally, IBJ
Singapore received a grant from the Economic Development Board under
the International Organisations Development Scheme.
IBJ does not seek to train Singaporean lawyers; rather, our Training Centre
draws upon Singapore’s educated and experienced legal community in
promoting rule of law and access to justice in the developing countries
where we have a presence. We work closely with the Law Society of
Singapore and have been extremely fortunate to have hosted esteemed
members of the Singaporean and international legal communities, such as
Subhas Anandan of RHT Taylor Wessing and Phillip Jeyaretnam of Roydik
and Davidson, at our roundtable events and training sessions and as
judges in our JusticeMakers competition.
In 2011, in partnership with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, IBJ Singapore
conducted the first-ever training programme of lawyers and government
officials from the countries comprising ASEAN. We then partnered with the
MFA to conduct a training programme of lawyers and governmental and
military officials in Laos. Upcoming training events are planned in
Cambodia and Myanmar, along with International Bridges to Justice’s
inaugural Global Defender Forum to be held in Singapore in 2013.

4. Our Vision
We envision a world where the basic legal rights of every
man, woman and child are respected in case of an arrest
or judicial accusation. In particular: the right to competent
legal representation, the right to be free from torture and
cruel treatment, and the right to a fair trial. It is a world
where the institutionalization of fair and effective justice
practices have eliminated the use of torture as the
cheapest method of investigation.
A world where each and every person is knowledgeable
about his/her rights and is empowered to demand that
they are upheld in practice.
A world where international human rights standards and
relevant local laws are brought to life in the everyday
practice of justice and through the consciousness of each
and every actor of the judicial system.
