Significant events
- “In July 2024, after many years of support to the Batwa of Kahuzi-Biega, we were successful in litigating to protect their land rights. The ACHPR ruled that the forcible eviction of the indigenous Batwa from their ancestral lands within the Kahuzi-Biega National Park was a violation of their rights by the DRC government.”
- “In March 2024, the UNHRC-established Fact-Finding Mission on Iran issued strong legal conclusions affirming that crimes against humanity (specifically persecution based on gender, intersecting with ethnicity and religion) were committed during the repression of the 2022 protests.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
