Who We Are

The Advocacy Foundation for Human Rights was founded by Jeff Birrell and Alan White, partners at BW Global Group, LLC.

BW Global Group is a highly successful Washington, D.C.-based government affairs firm – twice noted by influential international media as “One of the Top Ten Most Effective Firms in Washington, D.C., for African Affairs.”

With decades of experience in investigating human rights violations, crimes against humanity, and public corruption combined with government relations expertise, the Advocacy Foundation for Human Rights will move beyond government affairs and promote human rights in Africa and other parts of the world by “focusing on government officials and others, who are engaged in human rights violations and public corruption.”

The Advocacy Foundation for Human Rights will target those government officials and warring factions that are engaged in corruption, violence, and the suppression of human rights and involved in crimes against involving the civilian population in a wide-scale and systematic manner.

The Advocacy Foundation for Human Rights will investigate public corruption involving bribery and financial crimes where government funds (and very often U.S. taxpayer funds) are embezzled, stolen, or diverted for personal gains.

Seeking justice and accountability for victims can manifest in many ways, and the Advocacy Foundation for Human Rights will seek a wide variety of measures, from prosecution to sanctions, to end impunity.

Advocacy Foundation for Human Rights is a 501 (C) (3) non-profit registered in the United States Under E.I.N. 93-1482814 (Pending).

Advocacy Foundation for Human Rights is represented by Messrs. Roy Morris, Esq.  and Gerald LeMelle, Esq. at Dunlap, Bennett & Ludwig, 8300 Boone Boulevard, Suite 250, Vienna, Virginia, 22182. 571-577-8355.
