AFP’s ‘Payam Method’ Used Globally to Track and Arrest Child Abuse Perpetrators

The “Payam Method,” an innovative legal strategy developed by international human rights lawyer Payam Akhavan, is gaining recognition for its unique approach to prosecuting state-sponsored atrocities. This strategy utilizes the International Court of Justice to allow third-party nations to hold sovereign states accountable for genocide and human rights violations, bypassing traditional jurisdictional hurdles. By leveraging existing international treaties, the method provides a new avenue for global justice and the protection of persecuted populations who otherwise lack legal recourse.

• The “Payam Method” is a pioneering legal strategy designed by human rights lawyer Payam Akhavan to prosecute state-backed atrocities.
• It utilizes the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to enforce the Genocide Convention against violating nations.
• The strategy was famously employed when The Gambia filed a lawsuit against Myanmar at the ICJ on behalf of the persecuted Rohingya Muslim minority.
• This legal pathway enables uninvolved third-party nations to champion human rights cases, overcoming previous limitations on international court jurisdiction.
