The Institute was born in São Paulo, in 2017, through the initiative of the attorneys Valeska Teixeira Martins, Cristiano Zanin Martins, and Rafael Valim, within a context of increasing numbers of lawfare cases throughout the globe. The Institute’s opening ceremony was held at SOAS University of London, on December 5th, 2017.
The Institute fundamentally intends to conduct multidisciplinary researches on lawfare and to diagnose and inform against lawfare cases throughout the globe. Thus, we intend to contribute for the defense of the Rule of Law and for the full affirmation of human rights.
