The Global Liberty Alliance is a non-government organization based in Alexandria, Virginia. Its mission is to strengthen the rule of law, empower human rights defenders on the front lines of legal and policy battles, and advance the cause of justice. GLA has attorneys in the United States, work with lawyers and civil society leaders in other nations where the rule of law is weak or non-existent. Individuals the world over are denied the right to freely own property, worship as they please or say what they want. We work with lawyers in these places to help change that and raise awareness of the rule of law gap.

Team members defend persons whose fundamental rights have been violated by authoritarian governments in local courts and international tribunals. We believe local accountability is an essential component of successful rule of law initiatives. For cases arising in foreign nations, we provide local counsel the legal and political support they need to resolve legal and political disputes, locally. We do this, in part, by first working with local counsel to exhaust domestic court options, rather than first advocating in international bodies or tribunals such as the Inter-American Commission for Human Rights, the United Nations Human Rights Council, among others
