Registration is now open for World Justice Forum VI, the premier international event for the rule of law. Up to 1,000 governmental and non-governmental actors, private sector leaders, and members of the donor community will convene April 29 to May 2, 2019 in The Hague, The Netherlands.

The coming year will provide several important opportunities for advancing the rule of law and delivering on the promise of justice for all. Taking advantage of this political moment requires a coordinated effort to develop a shared understanding of why the rule of law and justice are important and what we can do about it. Convened under the theme of "Realizing Justice for All," World Justice Forum VI will:

  • Highlight key research findings on the relationship between justice and sustainable development;
  • Showcase successful solutions that deliver justice and strengthen the rule of law;
  • Foster multi-sectoral collaboration; and
  • Mobilize commitments to increase access to justice.

We intend for the outcomes of World Justice Forum VI to feed directly into the UN High Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16 in July and the UN Summit on the SDGs in September.

Detailed conference and registration information is available on the World Justice Forum VI website. We would be honored by your participation, and look forward to seeing you in The Hague!

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.
