Jamaicans for Justice (JFJ) is a non-profit, non-partisan, non-violent volunteer citizens’ rights action group. Jamaicans for Justice (JFJ) was founded in 1999 in Kingston, Jamaica.〔(About ) Jamaicans for Justice〕 The group was co-founded by Jamaican human rights activist Dr. Carolyn Gomes who in 2008 was awarded the United Nations Prize in the Field of Human Rights.〔(Press Release ), United Nations, 1 December 2008〕 == Origin == Jamaican for Justice arose out of the Gas Riots of 16 April 1999. On 19 August 1999 four months after the riots, JFJ came into being. On 15 October, it was officially a legal entity. The founders of JFJ felt that there was a need for a citizens’ rights action group to address the frustrations of the Jamaican people. These frustrations included many instances of alleged corruption in the public sphere, apparent miscarriages of justice in the judicial system and imbalances in the socio-economic system. Since its formation, JFJ has also developed working relationships with Amnesty International, USAID Jamaica, The Carter Center, Article 21, Street Law, CEJIL and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.
