The Japan Civil Liberties Union (JCLU) (自由人権協会, Jiyū Jinken Kyōkai) is a Japanese non-profit organization founded in 1947. Roger Nash Baldwin of the ACLU played an important role in its founding. The JCLU aims to protect human rights, and bases its operation on international human rights standards, principally the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It is affiliated with the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) and the International League for Human Rights (ILHR).[4]
