The International Prison Watch (IPW or OIP) is a French non-profit organization established in 1996. It is dedicated to promoting human rights within prisons, advocating for reduced use of incarceration, emphasizing social reintegration, and firmly opposing the use of the death penalty and torture.
IPW later acquired a consultative status at the United Nations.

LPLA aims to promote a more efficient justice system by fostering the growth of legal frameworks and institutions, conducting research on criminal law and procedural matters, encouraging collaboration among individuals and organizations involved in the realm of criminal justice and promoting human rights in Lebanon.
