The IBC on Governance for Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions is undertaking a comprehensive mapping of international, regional, and national initiatives currently led by United Nations Agencies, Funds, Offices, and Programmes on access to justice. As part of this effort, the IBC has developed a dedicated survey for regional and country offices to showcase their initiatives, including specific activities, proposed solutions, tools, and knowledge products.
Access to justice is at the core of the 2030 Agenda, as sustainable peace and development cannot be achieved without it. To ensure meaningful access to justice for all, mechanisms and systems must be available for the fair resolution of disputes, redress for human rights violations, and accountability for wrongdoings. People must be aware of their rights, empowered to claim them, and free to make their own choices throughout the process.
Through this survey, the IBC aims to identify opportunities for synergies, knowledge exchange, and collaborative implementation. Participants are invited to submit their contributions by Friday 6 September 2024.
