The COVID pandemic has driven home the dire need for tackling the root causes of the global justice and rule of law crisis. Women and girls face ever higher barriers to fair treatment. Journalists and investigators struggle to track the billions of dollars spent to keep health systems afloat. Minority communities vulnerable to environmental harm scramble to find safer ground to live in peace and dignity.
At heart, these problems share a common feature - weak and unaccountable governance and failure to respect fundamental rights.
As we move beyond this global crisis, we all have a part to play in building more just communities by coming together to share lessons learned, identify promising approaches, and turn good ideas into concrete action. At this year’s World Justice Forum (May 30 - June 2), hundreds of changemakers, policy experts, and youth, government and business leaders will gather in The Hague and online for three days of agenda-setting, learning, and action to steer a path toward more and better justice for all, as promised by the Sustainable Development Goals.
World Justice Forum participants will hear about impactful projects and promising trends including:
-
tech solutions to address delays in court hearings
-
alternative paths to resolving land disputes
-
crowd-sourcing safer neighborhoods for women and girls
-
and dozens of other practical ways to ensure that progress toward sustainable development gets back on track.
Join us May 30 - June 2 as a diverse community of stakeholders take up intersecting challenges and build a movement for justice and the rule of law that ensures a sustainable and equitable recovery.
