The Asian International Justice Initiative (AIJI) is a collaboration between the East-West Center and the U.C. Berkeley War Crimes Studies Center. AIJI builds on four year's experience in which the two Centers have worked closely to establish justice initiatives and capacity-building programs in the human rights sector in Asia. The two Centers continue to focus on projects and activities that combine their primary strengths: the regional expertise of the East-West Center and the transitional justice training and research capabilities of the War Crimes Studies Center.

The projects are directed by Professor David Cohen, a leading expert in international humanitarian law and international criminal law.
