FR On the different areas of the platform, network members can work together, in coalitions or communities of practice, maintaining the desired level of openness or confidentiality of their work.
In 2022, Justice ExPEERience saw the development of several communities of practice, made up of researchers, activists, jurists and civil society players implementing projects in different countries. On Justice ExPEERience, they deploy and coordinate joint actions for monitoring human rights violations, strategic litigation and advocacy, on a local, regional or international scale. In the confidential spaces dedicated to them, communities of practice have access to a shared and collaborative library, which members enrich to encourage the horizontal dissemination of expertise and peer-to-peer learning.
This sharing of expertise and information also takes place in thematic areas open to all members, making Justice ExPEERience itself an international, multi-sectoral community of practice. To energize the network and nurture exchanges between members, Justice ExPEERience offers its members a monthly webinar, the ExPEERience Talks, during which a network member presents a research project, a tool or an analysis related to the promotion of human rights and access to justice.
Communities of practice
On Justice ExPEERience, numerous communities of practice have developed. These are based on peer learning, the pooling of resources and knowledge, and ongoing collaboration. Bringing together people from different backgrounds within communities of practice is designed both to foster horizontal capacity-building (peer learning) and to develop joint initiatives and concrete actions (litigation, advocacy, etc.). Such collaborations are based on an immediate interest in working towards a common goal, and on mutual trust between group members. One indicator of a well-functioning community of practice is the ability to mobilize the group to answer its members' questions and move the collective project forward over the long term.
A community of practice on detention in the DRC
For the past 3 years, a community of practice, particularly active on Justice ExPEERience, has been working on the development of strategic litigation in the field of detention in the DRC.
This working group brings together a dozen lawyers from various provinces of the DRC who, after drawing up an alarming report on the violation of the rights of incarcerated persons, decided, with the support of ASF and specialized lawyers, to launch a dliability procedure against the Congolese state concerning prison overcrowding, inhuman and degrading detention conditions, and the abusive use of arbitrary detention beyond the limits of the law, combined with an advocacy campaign aimed at the media and local and national authorities.
Through their collaborative work, sometimes face-to-face and especially remotely, first on Slack and then on Justice ExPEERience, members of the community of practice were able to benefit from capacity building in strategic litigation, then identify cases that could constitute such litigation and collectively develop the legal means to defend these cases.
In September 2020, emblematic cases were brought to trial on the same day in 6 provinces of the DRC. Today, the lawyers continue to collaborate remotely, on Justice ExPEERience, to advance the litigation strategy. At the beginning of June 2023, they met in Kinshasa in a working group to prepare their arguments.
The ExPEERience Talks
The ExPEERience Talks are monthly webinars organized to promote the dissemination of expertise and the sharing of knowledge , on topics proposed by network members.
The ExPEERience Letter
To share, capitalize on, create and disseminate the network's new research, activities and events, a monthly newsletter - The ExPEERience Letter - is sent to all network members, in French and English, with news, events, a press review and, occasionally, exclusive articles on specific topical issues (transitional justice in Ethiopia, coup in Niger, etc.).
