UCSJ, or the Union of Councils for Jews in the Former Soviet Union, is a collection of Jewish human rights organisations working in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. They are based in Washington DC, but are linked to other organisations such as the Moscow Helsinki Group and have offices in the countries in which they conduct their activities.

Their activities include reporting on the human rights situations of countries in the FSU, as well as assisting communities in need and exposing human rights violations. They attempt to provide assistance to anyone who they judge to be in need of it, including Muslims and Roma as well as Jews.
