FORM 990, PART I, LINE 1:	THE ILF WAS FOUNDED IN 2001 TO ADDRESS THE GLOBAL CRISIS IN ACCESS TO JUSTICE. THE ILF'S MISSION IS TO MAKE JUSTICE A REALITY FOR POOR PEOPLE BY FIGHTING TO GUARANTEE HIGH-QUALITY LEGAL REPRESENTATION FOR EVERYONE ARRESTED OR DETAINED. AROUND THE WORLD, WE PROVIDE CRIMINAL DEFENSE SERVICES AND BUILD SUSTAINABLE, EFFECTIVE LEGAL AID INSTITUTIONS. AT THE END OF 2020, THE ILF HAS REPRESENTED MORE THAN 75,000 POOR PEOPLE ACCUSED OF CRIMES IN AFGHANISTAN, MYANMAR, NEPAL, TUNISIA, AND THE WEST BANK AND TRAINED THOUSANDS OF LEGAL AID LAWYERS. THE ILF ALSO PERFORMS HIGH-LEVEL ADVOCACY, PUSHING COUNTRIES, INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, AND DONORS TO PRIORITIZE LEGAL AID AS A FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHT AND A CRUCIAL GLOBAL DEVELOPMENT ISSUE. FROM THE GROUND UP, WE TRAIN AND EMPOWER LAWYERS TO BE PROACTIVE ADVOCATES CAPABLE OF PROVIDING HIGH-QUALITY CRIMINAL DEFENSE SERVICES. MENTORING IS CARRIED OUT BY EXPERIENCED INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYERS, KNOWN AS INTERNATIONAL FELLOWS, WHO VOLUNTEER TO WORK IN THE ILF'S LEGAL AID OFFICES ON THREE-MONTH ROTATIONS, ACTING AS SENIOR ASSOCIATES TO THEIR LOCAL COLLEAGUES. THE ILF'S ADVOCACY ALSO CATALYZES CHANGES ACROSS JUSTICE SYSTEMS. CASE BY CASE, OUR LAWYERS TRANSFORM THEIR CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEMS AND STRENGTHEN THE RULE OF LAW. THE ILF HAS WON NOTABLE VICTORIES IN THE TRIAL COURTS OF EVERY COUNTRY WHERE WE'VE WORKED. WE'VE WON THE RELEASE OF CLIENTS WHO LANGUISHED IN DETENTION FOR YEARS. WE'VE SECURED ACQUITTALS FOR INNOCENT MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN. WE'VE ALSO WON LANDMARK LEGAL VICTORIES IN THE APPELLATE AND HIGH COURTS. AROUND THE WORLD, OUR LAWYERS ARE SOUGHT AFTER AS TRAINERS AND ADVISERS. THEY ARE PROMINENT HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENDERS WHO REGULARLY PROVIDE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO ORGANIZATIONS, GOVERNMENTS, AND JUSTICE SECTOR PARTNERS ON CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND LEGAL AID SYSTEM REFORM.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C, DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM SERVICES:	THE ILF WAS IN THE MIDST OF PLANNING FOR THE FOURTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ACCESS TO LEGAL AID IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEMS TO TAKE PLACE IN RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL WHEN COVID-19 BEGAN SPREADING ACROSS THE WORLD. RECOGNIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF FINDING A WAY TO STILL HOLD THE EVENT GIVEN THE URGENT NEED FOR LEGAL AID PROVIDERS TO SHARE INFORMATION AND EXPERIENCES ON HOW TO ADDRESS NEW JUSTICE CHALLENGES, WE HELD AN ALL VIRTUAL CONVENING FROM 14-18 SEPTEMBER 2020 WITH THE PUBLIC DEFENDER'S OFFICE OF THE STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE OPEN SOCIETY JUSTICE INITIATIVE, THE UN DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME, AND THE UN OFFICE ON DRUGS AND CRIME. MOVING THE CONFERENCE ONLINE ENABLED US TO INCLUDE MORE PARTICIPANTS FROM MORE COUNTRIES THAN ANY PREVIOUS CONFERENCE: OVER 800 LEGAL AID PROVIDERS AND JUSTICE ADVOCATES FROM 89 COUNTRIES. MAJOR THEMES INCLUDED: ADVOCATING FOR RELEASE AND PROTECTING THE RIGHTS OF PEOPLE DEPRIVED OF LIBERTY; HOLISTIC REPRESENTATION AND ACCESS TO JUSTICE FOR VULNERABLE AND MARGINALIZED GROUPS; AND COMBATING SYSTEMIC RACIAL AND ETHNIC DISCRIMINATION. THESE IMPORTANT DISCUSSIONS CULMINATED IN THE ROADMAP FOR INCREASING ACCESS TO JUSTICE AMIDST THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, CALLING FOR FURTHER ACTION IN 10 KEY AREAS AT THE CLOSE OF THE CONFERENCE. THROUGHOUT 2020, THE ILF CONTRIBUTED TO PROMINENT COALITIONS AND STAKEHOLDER FORUMS IN ORDER TO ELEVATE ACCESS TO QUALITY LEGAL AID AS A KEY COMPONENT OF ACCESS TO JUSTICE UNDER SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL 16. THE ILF JOINED THE PATHFINDERS TASK FORCE ON JUSTICE PARTNERS GROUP, A KEY GLOBAL ALLIANCE GARNERING HIGH-LEVEL SUPPORT FOR PEOPLE-CENTERED JUSTICE. THE ILF WAS ALSO AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE TRANSPARENCY, ACCOUNTABILITY AND PARTICIPATION (TAP) NETWORK, WORKING ON A CAMPAIGN SEEKING TO ENSURE THAT PROGRESS ON SDG16 IS EVALUATED ANNUALLY AT THE HIGH-LEVEL POLITICAL FORUM GIVEN ITS IMPORTANCE AS A CROSS-CUTTING GOAL. DURING THE 2020 UN HIGH-LEVEL POLITICAL FORUM 2020, THE ILF WAS FEATURED IN A VIRTUAL SIDE EVENT TO DISCUSS OUR WORK ADVANCING SDG16 DESPITE THE CHALLENGES OF COVID-19. OUR WEST BANK TEAM'S VIDEO SHOWCASED LEGAL AID LAWYERS' CRITICAL WORK ADVOCATING FOR RELEASE OF DETAINEES AND INCARCERATED PEOPLE DURING THE PANDEMIC, FIGHTING FOR HEALTH AND HUMAN RIGHTS. WE ALSO ADVANCED THE SDGS AT A NATIONAL LEVEL. THE MINISTRY OF JUSTICE OF AFGHANISTAN AND THE ILF'S PARTNERSHIP TO STRENGTHEN AFGHANISTAN'S LEGAL AID SYSTEM AND ACCELERATE PROGRESS TOWARDS REALIZING SDG 16 WAS ACCEPTED AS AN ACCELERATION ACTION, ONE OF THE FEW SDG16 COMMITMENTS PUT FORWARD BY A G7+ COUNTRY. IN 2020, THE ILF ALSO CONTINUED TO ADVANCE DISCUSSIONS AROUND BEST PRACTICES IN DEFINING AND MEASURING QUALITY IN LEGAL AID SYSTEMS. ALTHOUGH THE UNITED NATIONS KYOTO CRIME CONGRESS SCHEDULED FOR 2020 WAS POSTPONED TO 2021, WE WERE ACTIVELY ENGAGED WITH MEMBER STATES LIKE ARGENTINA, BRAZIL, SOUTH AFRICA, AND THE UNITED STATES TO ADVOCATE FOR ROBUST DECLARATION LANGUAGE REINFORCING THE NEED FOR QUALITY MEASURES TO ENSURE PROPER IMPLEMENTATION OF THE UN PRINCIPLES AND GUIDELINES ON ACCESS TO LEGAL AID IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEMS, AS WELL AS THE NEED TO STRENGTHEN THE INTERNATIONAL LEGAL AID NETWORK THAT THE ILF IS WORKING TO ADVANCE AS A MEANS TO FACILITATE KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGE AND SHARING OF BEST PRACTICES AMONG LEGAL AID PROVIDERS.

	DIRECT SERVICE - AFGHANISTAN, WEST BANK, NEPAL, TUNISIA, AND MYANMAR: SEE SCHEDULE OIN 2020 AS THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC SPREAD ACROSS THE WORLD, THE ILF LED A GLOBAL ADVOCACY CAMPAIGN TO SECURE THE RELEASE OF VULNERABLE DETAINEES AND INCARCERATED PERSONS.IN AFGHANISTAN, THE ILF CONTRACTED TO PROVIDE QUALITY LEGAL AID SERVICES TO 6,154 NEW CLIENTS IN 2020 A 21% INCREASE OVER 2019 INCLUDING 231 WOMEN AND 682 CHILDREN. DURING THE FIRST WAVE OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, WE PRESSED FOR A RANGE OF PROGRESSIVE POLICIES, INCLUDING AMNESTY DECREES THAT SECURED THE RELEASE OF OVER 22,000 PRISONERS. RECOGNIZING THE UNIQUE CHALLENGES FACING THE HUNDREDS OF WOMEN AND GIRLS BEING RELEASED FROM DETENTION, WE TRAINED OUR LAWYERS IN GENDER-RESPONSIVE REENTRY PLANNING, INCLUDING HOW TO PROVIDE REENTRY SUPPORT. OUR LAWYERS ARRANGED FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES UPON THEIR CLIENTS' RELEASE, SUCH AS SHELTER ACCESS AND TRANSPORT. LAWYERS ASSISTED WITH URGENT FAMILY AND CIVIL LAW MATTERS, AND THEY WERE ALSO TRAINED TO MAKE REFERRALS FOR MEDICAL, MENTAL HEALTH, AND TRAUMA-RELATED SERVICES. AS A RESULT OF THIS WORK, THE ILF WAS CALLED ON BY UN WOMEN TO CONTRIBUTE TO A GENDER ALERT, AND TO PROVIDE ADVICE ON GENDER JUSTICE. IN MARCH 2020, THE MINISTRY OF JUSTICE MADE A FIRM COMMITMENT TO ENSURE QUALITY CRIMINAL DEFENSE FOR THE POOR IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE ILF, SIGNING A DETAILED AGREEMENT. OUR JOINT EFFORT WILL CENTER ON IMPLEMENTING AFGHANISTAN'S 2019 LEGAL AID REGULATION, WHICH PROVIDES A ROADMAP FOR TRANSFORMATION. IN LINE WITH OUR SUSTAINABILITY MODEL, THE ILF WILL PROVIDE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO ENHANCE LEGAL AID TRAINING AND BUILD CAPACITY FOR THE AFGHAN GOVERNMENT TO INDEPENDENTLY MONITOR AND EVALUATE THE QUALITY OF LEGAL AID SERVICES AS THEY EXPAND ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THESE STEPS REINFORCE AFGHANISTAN'S PUBLIC PLEDGE TO ACCELERATE ACTION AROUND UN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL 16, ACHIEVING PEACE, JUSTICE, AND STRONG INSTITUTIONS.IN THE WEST BANK, THE ILF CONTRACTED 442 NEW CASES IN 2020, OVER 90% OF WHOM WERE JUVENILES. DESPITE CHALLENGES RESULTING FROM THE PANDEMIC AND SUBSEQUENT COURT SHUTDOWNS AND CURFEWS, THE ILF ADVOCATED FOR OUR LAWYERS TO BE CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL WORKERS, AND SUCCEEDED IN OBTAINING RELEASE FOR 175 CLIENTS. THIS INCLUDED BY FILING 67 PRETRIAL RELEASE MOTIONS, 61 OF WHICH RESULTED IN RELEASE. ADDITIONALLY, 67% OF THE ILF'S CLIENTS SERVING PRISON SENTENCES WERE RELEASED. TO ADVANCE ACCESS TO JUSTICE DURING THE PANDEMIC, THE ILF ESTABLISHED A ROOM IN COURT DURING THE FIRST WAVE OF COVID-19 TO PROVIDE EMERGENCY COUNSEL AND HEALTH RESOURCES TO ACCUSED AND THEIR FAMILIES WHEN OTHER LAWYERS WERE UNABLE TO TRAVEL. ILF LAWYERS EVEN DROVE DETAINEES' FAMILY MEMBERS TO COURT WHEN THEIR PRESENCE WAS REQUIRED. ALSO, TO BRING ATTENTION TO THE CRISIS IN ACCESS TO LEGAL AID FOR POOR AND VULNERABLE ACCUSED CHARGED WITH MISDEMEANOR OFFENSES, THE ILF CONDUCTED RESEARCH ON ACCESS TO LEGAL REPRESENTATION IN THE CONCILIATION COURTS. THE RESEARCH REVEALED THAT FEWER THAN 21% OF PEOPLE CHARGED WITH MISDEMEANOR OFFENSES IN 2019 HAD A LAWYER, AND THAT UNREPRESENTED PEOPLE HAD SIGNIFICANT DIFFICULTY DEFENDING THEMSELVES IN COURT. IN TUNISIA, THE ILF CONTINUED TO EXPAND IN 2020, ESTABLISHING TWO SPECIALIZED JUVENILE LEGAL AID OFFICES IN KASSERINE AND KAIROUAN WITH THE GOAL TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO JUSTICE FOR CHILDREN, INCLUDING THROUGH INCREASED USE OF DIVERSION AND ALTERNATIVES TO INCARCERATION. IN TOTAL, THE ILF REPRESENTED 141 CLIENTS IN 2020, OVER 30% OF WHOM WERE JUVENILES. THE ILF ALSO ENGAGED IN ADVOCACY IN COLLABORATION WITH THE TUNISIAN ASSOCIATION OF YOUNG LAWYERS THAT CALLED FOR THE RELEASE OF VULNERABLE DETAINEES DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND THROUGH THE APPLICATION OF ALTERNATIVES TO INCARCERATION. ONE OF THESE LETTERS WAS SENT TO THE PRESIDENT AND THE OTHER WAS SENT TO THE MINISTER OF JUSTICE AND SUPREME COUNCIL OF MAGISTRATES. THE ILF ALSO LAUNCHED A TRAINING PROJECT ON ALTERNATIVES TO INCARCERATION THAT INCLUDES DRAFTING OF A TRAINING CURRICULUM AND PROVIDING TRAINING TO LAWYERS THROUGHOUT TUNISIA ON HOW TO SECURE NON-INCARCERATORY SENTENCES.IN MYANMAR IN 2020, THE ILF REPRESENTED 260 NEW CLIENTS, OVER 40% OF WHOM WERE JUVENILES. THROUGHOUT 2020, THE ILF NAVIGATED TWO MAJOR WAVES OF COVID-19 IN MYANMAR, RESULTING IN PRETRIAL DETAINEES NOT BEING BROUGHT TO COURT AND SUSPENDED PROCEEDINGS. NONETHELESS, ILF LAWYERS CONTINUED PUSHING FOR CLIENTS TO BE HEARD ON ISSUES OF RELEASE AND DISPOSITION. THE ILF ALSO DEFENDED THE RIGHTS OF MIGRANT ROHINGYA FLEEING CONFLICT IN RAKHINE WHO WERE BEING TARGETED BY AUTHORITIES AND DISCRIMINATORILY PROSECUTED FOR FAILURE TO HAVE REGISTRATION DOCUMENTS. THE ILF SUBMITTED A PETITION TO THE UNION SUPREME COURT (USC) ON BEHALF OF 21 ROHINGYA MUSLIMS WHO WERE CONVICTED AND SENTENCED TO TWO YEARS IMPRISONMENT FOR VIOLATING REGISTRATION LAWS. THE PETITION WAS ULTIMATELY OVERTAKEN BY A DIRECTIVE ISSUED BY THE GOVERNMENT DURING THE FIRST WAVE OF COVID-19, DISMISSING ALL CASES AND ORDERING RELEASE OF ROHINGYA DETAINEES.IN NEPAL, THE ILF WORKED WITH ITS LOCAL PARTNER, THE PUBLIC DEFENDER SOCIETY OF NEPAL (PDS-NEPAL) TO PROTECT POOR, VULNERABLE AND MARGINALIZED PEOPLE DURING THE COVID-19 LOCKDOWNS. THROUGH ADVOCACY, PDS-NEPAL ENSURED THE COURTS STAYED OPEN FOR RELEASE HEARINGS THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC, AND TOOK A LEADING ROLE IN LITIGATING ISSUES THAT AROSE DURING COVID-19. PDS-NEPAL WON A RULING FROM THE SUPREME COURT THAT CHILDREN WHO HAVE BEEN CONVICTED AND SENTENCED TO A JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER HAVE THE RIGHT TO REQUEST RESENTENCING TO HOME CONFINEMENT. THEIR STRATEGIC LITIGATION ALSO LED THE GOVERNMENT TO ESTABLISH A WATCH GROUP TO MONITOR AND CURB POLICE ABUSE OF THE POOR AND MOST MARGINALIZED DURING COVID-19 LOCKDOWNS. IN TOTAL, PDS-NEPAL PROVIDED REPRESENTATION TO 81 NEW CLIENTS IN 2020.

	ADVICE AND ASSISTANCE: SEE SCHEDULE OTHE ILF PROVIDES IN-DEPTH MENTORING, TRAINING, INFORMATION, AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO LEGAL AID PROVIDERS, JUSTICE STAKEHOLDERS, AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES IN ALL THE COUNTRIES WHERE WE WORK. THROUGHOUT 2020, THE ILF CONTINUED TO BUILD THE CAPACITY OF LOCAL LAWYERS TO ENGAGE IN IMPACT LITIGATION THAT CURBS UNLAWFUL AND ARBITRARY ACTIONS OF AUTHORITIES. THIS WORK WAS SUPPORTED BY DAY-TO-DAY, CASE-BY-CASE MENTORING BY 21 INTERNATIONAL FELLOWS, WHO PROVIDED OVER 2,300 HOURS OF MENTORING TO ILF LAWYERS AROUND THE WORLD. THIS INNOVATIVE PROFESSIONAL EXCHANGE HAS TRANSFORMED LOCAL LAWYERS FROM PASSIVE PARTICIPANTS IN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM TO PROACTIVE ADVOCATES FOR THE RIGHTS OF THEIR CLIENTS. IN ADDITION TO THIS WORK, THE ILF HAS CONTINUED TO SHARE EXPERTISE WITH INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS, GOVERNMENTS, AND LEGAL AID PROVIDERS AROUND THE WORLD. THE ILF LED GLOBAL ADVOCACY EFFORTS TO SECURE THE RELEASE OF VULNERABLE PERSONS IN PRETRIAL DETENTION AND PRISONS GIVEN THE THREAT OF COVID-19. ADVOCACY DURING THE PANDEMIC INCLUDING BY ISSUING GLOBAL GUIDANCE FOR LEGAL AID PROVIDERS TO PROTECT HEALTH AND HUMAN RIGHTS. THE ILF'S RESOURCES AND LESSONS LEARNED DURING THE COVID-19 CRISIS WERE HIGHLIGHTED BY THE OPEN GOVERNMENT PARTNERSHIP POLICY SERIES AND THROUGH THE LEGAL EMPOWERMENT NETWORK. THE ILF ALSO PROVIDED INPUT TO "TECHNICAL NOTE: COVID-19 AND CHILDREN DEPRIVED OF THEIR LIBERTY" THAT WAS PUBLISHED BY UNICEF AND THE ALLIANCE FOR CHILD PROTECTION IN HUMANITARIAN ACTION. THE PURPOSE OF THE NOTE IS TO PROVIDE DETAINING AUTHORITIES WITH INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THEIR RESPONSE DURING COVID-19, SUCH AS SAFELY RELEASING CHILDREN FROM DETENTION.IN JANUARY 2020, THE ILF LAUNCHED A NEW PROJECT TO BUILD THE CAPACITY OF INDONESIA LEGAL AID LAWYERS IN COLLABORATION WITH LEGAL AID INSTITUTE JAKARTA (YLBHI) TO PROVIDE POOR MARGINALIZED, AND VULNERABLE PERSONS ACCUSED OF CRIMES WITH ACCESS TO QUALITY, EFFECTIVE LEGAL REPRESENTATION. THROUGHOUT 2020, AND DESPITE CHALLENGES CREATED BY COVID-19, THE ILF CONDUCTED A BASELINE ASSESSMENT OF INDONESIAN CRIMINAL JUSTICE LAW AND PRACTICE, DEVELOPED A DEFENSE TRAINING CURRICULUM AND BEGAN MENTORING LAWYERS FROM SIX LEGAL AID ORGANIZATIONS.ALSO IN 2020, THE ILF COLLABORATED WITH THE EU BORDER ASSISTANCE MISSION TO DESIGN VIRTUAL TRAININGS FOR LIBYAN PUBLIC LAWYERS WITH A FOCUS ON INTERNATIONAL BEST PRACTICES FOR EARLY ACCESS TO LEGAL AID. BUILDING ON EFFORTS TO STRENGTHEN REGIONAL PEER EXCHANGE AND WITH THE GOAL TO BUILD A STRONGER CULTURE OF DEFENSE ACROSS THE MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA, OUR TUNISIAN AND PALESTINIAN LAWYERS WILL LEAD MANY OF THE TRAINING SESSIONS AND SHARE THE ILF'S EXPERIENCE PROVIDING LEGAL AID IN POLICE STATIONS AND DURING THE PRETRIAL STAGES OF A CRIMINAL CASE.
