PILS is a Belfast-based non-profit committed to supporting local organisations to use public interest litigation to protect human rights and equality.

Public interest litigation is defined as the use of litigation or legal action which seeks to advance the cause of minority or disadvantaged groups or individuals, or which raises issues of broad public concern.

Our Aims

  • Provide financial and legal support in taking public interest cases;
  • Enhance communication and co-ordination between non governmental organisations (NGOs) on the use of public interest litigation;
  • Raise awareness of and tackle barriers to public interest litigation and promote access to justice for those most in need.
