Associació Catalana de Juristes Demòcrates

The Associació Catalana de Juristes Demòcrates (ACJD) is a Catalan association of jurists and legal professionals. According to its official website, it brings together "jurists and legal professionals, in any of their expressions" and works to promote a conception of law as an active instrument of action and realization rather than a tool of domination and exploitation. Its stated aims include promoting the right of peoples and persons to decide their own destiny, defending the principle of self-determination of peoples and the right to independence and development, defending equal rights among all peoples, and supporting struggles for political, economic, social and institutional independence. The association also states that it seeks to make law an instrument in the service of peace and social progress, coexistence and peaceful relations between states regardless of their political and social regimes. It advocates the establishment of a democratic international order involving the renunciation of the use of force and progress toward demilitarization and integral disarmament. It opposes the exploitation of peoples and persons, racism and any discrimination based on gender, language, individual beliefs, birth or any other personal or social circumstance. It also defends the right of persons to their own defense where that right is violated, the effective protection of their interests, and the effective independence of the judiciary. The ACJD is active in public debate and international legal networks. In April 2022 it adhered to a MEDEL declaration on war crimes committed in Ukraine. Its website records activities such as conferences, joint statements and award ceremonies, including the Premi Memorial Josep Solé Barberà. It has held internal elections to renew its Junta Directiva (board) in years such as 2017 and 2022, and organizes member dinners and talks on the future of the association and on dialogue between legal operators. Its public communications address topics such as the right to free determination of sex for minors, reform of the law guaranteeing sexual freedom, and concerns about judicial and prosecutorial strikes. The organization is based in Catalonia, Spain, and operates primarily in the Catalan and Spanish legal and civic sphere. It is a membership-based association rather than a commercial company, and no parent company, ownership or listing information is available. Its website is acjd.org.
