The Coalition for a Convention on Crimes Against Humanity (C-CAH) is a civil society group composed of academics, NGOs, and other experts committed to working together to achieve an effective, victim/survivor-centric, and non-discriminatory crimes against humanity convention that will fight against impunity. The Coalition is values-based, focused on the progressive development of international law.
Through quarterly meetings and other means, the C-CAH aims to serve as the focal point for information exchange with a view to facilitating joint advocacy strategies, initiatives, and opportunities to shape UN negotiations, and to encourage and support regional and national-level advocacy and campaigns related to the negotiation and adoption of the Convention.
