About Us
The WJP is an independent, multidisciplinary organization working to advance the rule of law worldwide.
Our Work
We engage advocates from across the globe and from multiple work disciplines to advance the rule of law.
The Disaster Relief Panel at the World Justice Forum IV examined challenges and possible solutions, as well as new instruments available for providing disaster victims with access to relief services.
Post-disaster environments present local and international governments with myriad complex legal challenges. Panelists examined rebuilding policies and legal bidding for reconstruction, vicarious liability (preventing international assistance), post-event remediation, NGO registrations, measurement of success, issues of land planning, and policy and budgets, as well as public and private approaches to disaster recovery.
