The movements, organizations, and individuals who made the Tribunal possible
The Tribunal was a collective effort of grassroots movements, civil society organizations, academics, journalists, legal experts, and activists from across India and around the world. It was organized through a collaborative structure of convenors who mobilized communities, advisors who provided expertise, and a secretariat that coordinated logistics.
The jury sat before the tribunal, heard depositions and passed the final judgement. These distinguished experts in their fields were selected by the groups involved in organizing the tribunal.
The convenors were the backbone of the people's movement—key groups, grassroots organizations, and movements responsible for mobilizing communities, gathering depositions, and organizing testimony across thematic and regional areas.
The following individuals provided invaluable expertise, guidance, and support throughout the Tribunal process:
