The Nuhanovic Foundation is closely affiliated to the Law Faculty of the University of Amsterdam and helped set up the War Reparations Centre (WRC) at UvA in 2014. The Centre is a partner of the Amsterdam Law Clinic and the Nuhanovic Foundation (based in the Amsterdam Law Hub) and welcomes requests from lawyers and non-profit organisations for legal research to assist litigation and other efforts to obtain redress.
Frank van Vliet has a long-standing commitment to supporting litigation that leads to justice for individuals harmed by state-sponsored violence. He has supported the Nuhanovic Foundation since its inception:
"I started supporting litigation cases with the Zorreguieta case, and then turned my attention increasingly to Afghanistan and later Palestine and Israel and so on. I feel closely engaged with the actual lawsuits, and am particularly interested in strategic litigation. Before a case starts, lawyers have to carry out investigations, get documents translated, and gather evidence. They need seed money for that. These are the costs for which I am approached, because, during the early phases of investigating and preparing a case, there's typically no financial support available from the government."
The Nuhanovic Foundation's goal is to help secure justice and reparations for civilian victims of war and conflict.
