Well-functioning judicial institutions deliver justice—to everyone. They uphold human rights, deliver essential services, prevent insecurity, and sustain peace. When crisis strikes, they steady individuals and communities, ensuring resilience, laying foundations for recovery, and safeguarding development gains. Many countries, however, face continued challenges in making justice institutions effective, transparent, and accountable, particularly in fragile and conflict-affected contexts. Underinvestment and outdated laws and procedures may leave judicial institutions buckling under unmanageable caseloads. IDLO helps countries close these gaps and improve judicial systems as a whole. IDLO works across multiple levels of laws and services, always paying close attention to unique social, cultural, and political contexts. IDLO programmes focus on smart legal reforms grounded in evidence, a spectrum of better-quality legal services, fair and humane criminal justice systems, and stepped-up actions to stop corruption.
