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.
Several key events in 2019 provide a real opportunity to progress on Sustainable Development Goal 16—ensuring access to justice for all—and to do so in ways that tackle inequality, too. In particular, 2019 presents a major opportunity to integrate the rights and development agendas, and to activate the human rights movement to address a significant aspect of inequality.
In a contributing article for Open Global Rights, WJP Executive Director Elizabeth Andersen outlines this opportunity, the key events that are building momentum, and why the SDG process is perhaps the most promising effort to integrate these agendas that we have seen since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 70 years ago.
