As Organizations of Civil Society in West Java, LBH Bandung views that the State must protect and respect the civil and political rights as well as assure the fulfillment of economic, social and cultural and become an important part and undivided in the running the State.

One of the serious problems experienced by the impoverished and marginalized people is access to justice. Therefore, LBH Bandung has positioned itself as an organization that focuses on legal aid and human rights with the scope of work in West Java. Our Organization missions are:

  1. Establish, promote and disseminate the values of the democratic and just law-based state, and uphold human rights in all social segments without condition;
