Access to Justice for All and the COVID-19 Pandemic: Recommendations for Action

Wednesday, December 16
10:00 - 11:00 AM (EST)

Register ([link removed])
The COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare significant deficits and inequities in fulfilling the promise of UN Sustainable Development Goal 16 ([link removed]) to "provide access to justice for all." By all accounts, the pandemic is taking its greatest toll on those who traditionally have been excluded from justice systems and plunging more people into this plight. While the pandemic has created new challenges for reaching "justice for all" by 2030, it also has highlighted the importance and new opportunities for doing so.

Co-sponsored by World Justice Challenge thematic partners the International Development Law Organization (IDLO) and Pathfinders for Peaceful, Just and Inclusive Societies, this discussion will focus on access to justice issues that have been raised and exacerbated by the pandemic. Panelists will also discuss recommendations for action needed to address underlying challenges, support an effective recovery process, and build back toward more just, rule-of-law-based societies.
