NGO/CSO
The Public Interest Law Initiative (PILI) is a center for learning and innovation that advances human rights principles by stimulating the development of a public interest law infrastructure in a wide variety of countries. Founded at Columbia University in 1997 with the support of the Ford Foundation, PILI established its new headquarters in Budapest, Hungary in the spring of 2002. PILI uses the term "public interest law" to refer to a wide-ranging set of law-based activities designed to promote and protect the public interest. PILI's approach is to develop and support organizations and individuals who devote themselves to pursuing the public interest – an effort which is closely related to the development of civil society and the promotion and protection of human rights.
