Just Launched at the World Justice Forum! The Justice for All report from the Task Force on Justice makes the case for shifting from a model that provides justice for the few, to one that delivers justice for all. The launch of the report on Monday kicked off the World Justice Forum by defining the opportunity for the justice movement in 2019. With a new global estimate of the justice gap informed by the World Justice Project's Measuring the Justice Gap report, the Justice for All report makes the case for investment in justice and identification of strategies, tools and approaches to increase access to justice.

We invite you to learn more about the new global estimate of the justice gap in The Guardian and The Independent, watch the report launch, and download the Justice for All and Measuring the Justice Gap reports below.

Participants from more than 75 countries and 320 organizations have joined us here in The Hague for the 2019 World Justice Forum. Focused on the theme "Realizing Justice for All," each day explores a separate topic: on Monday, we Defined the Opportunity for the justice movement in 2019 and beyond. Tuesday’s program will Showcase What Works. On Wednesday, participants will explore Building the Movement. The final day of the Forum will feature Commitments to Justice. Follow along for live updates and news at #WJForum on social media. 

Highlight Your Commitment to Justice

It's not too late to make a Commitment to Justice! Submit your Commitment to Justice to join the movement—and to spur others to action! Commitments will be featured on WJP’s website and at the World Justice Forum. Following the event WJP will coordinate registration of Commitments to Justice on the UN Partnerships for the SDGs’ global registry of voluntary commitments, where organizations can also post subsequent updates and progress reports.

As part of a multidimensional project funded by the Canadian Embassy in Mexico, WJP has produced a new report that seeks to increase the visibility of Indigenous mediation programs. It comes as a growing number of governments, donors, and communities are embracing a paradigm shift to people-centered justice. That global movement prioritizes identifying people’s legal needs and fostering accessible solutions to address them, rather than primarily investing in established institutions that are missing the mark.

On March 13, Andersen addressed judicial, legal, and academic leaders at the National Judicial Conference’s symposium on “Democracy’s Last Line of Defense: Preserving an Independent Judiciary.”
