The LAG Consortium is based on the common professional and public interests of its founding members, their common goals and objectives. Also, it is based on the principles of mutual respect, equality and non-interference in each other’s’ internal affairs including protection of individual and common interests of its founding members. The LAG Consortium aims to achieve two major goals:

• To increase access to qualified legal services for all in need with a particular focus on the displaced populations – internally displaced persons (IDPs), refugees, and returnees – as well as stateless and those endangered by statelessness; and
• To advocate for unimpeded access of the above mentioned groups to their civil, political and social rights and for changes in policies and practices at local, regional and country level that contribute to improved protection framework for all displaced.
