The rule of law and access to justice are key conditions for countries’ sustainable development..

We amplify the professional voices of lawyers by connecting law societies and bars across the globe, harnessing the collective perspective, purpose and power of the global legal profession towards the advancement of the rule of law and access to justice. in order to build a sustainable future.  Being treated fairly and equally under laws that adhere to international human rights standards and the ability to exercise your rights and hold decision makers to account are among the necessities for sustainable social and economic growth. 

Access to justice is a basic principle of the rule of law. In the absence of access to justice, people are unable to have their voices heard, exercise their rights, challenge discrimination or hold decision-makers accountable.

A recent report by The WJP found that justice problems are ubiquitous and frequent. Despite this, most people do not turn to lawyers and courts. Less than a third (29%) of people who experience a legal problem sought any form of advice to help them better understand or resolve their problem.
