World Justice Project’s Unique Approach to the Rule of Law
The World Justice Project is dedicated to advancing the Rule of Law as the foundation for communities of opportunity and equity. Two characteristics make the World Justice Project approach unique: the multidisciplinary nature of WJP programs and activities and the commitment to action required of WJP stakeholders. For too long, efforts to enhance the Rule of Law and expand Access to Justice have focused solely on those affiliated with the legal profession. While lawyers and judges are an integral component of promoting effective Rule of Law, we are all stakeholders in the Rule of Law. The WJP encourages non-legal professionals, from artists and doctors to scientists and journalists, to view the world through the lens of the Rule of Law and to develop and implement programs that strengthen legal frameworks and enforcement to address major challenges facing their communities.
“Without the Rule of Law, we risk disenchanting youth and disengaging them from public life, which is an outcome we surely cannot afford.”- Dr. Sheikha Al-Missned, President, Qatar University
