Our credibility rests on our independence and on being open about how we work.
Governance
Democratic, volunteer-led governance, as defined by our statutes.
ACJR is governed democratically. Its bodies and their powers are defined by the statutes adopted on 17 September 2026; they provide for internal rules, prepared by the Board and submitted to the General Assembly for approval, to set out the details.
