Mission & Interests
Goals: The World Justice Project® (WJP) is an independent, multidisciplinary organization working to advance the rule of law worldwide.
Effective rule of law reduces corruption, combats poverty and disease, and protects people from injustices large and small. It is the foundation for communities of justice, opportunity, and peace—underpinning development, accountable government, and respect for fundamental rights.
Traditionally, the rule of law has been viewed as the domain of lawyers and judges. But everyday issues of safety, rights, justice, and governance affect us all; everyone is a stakeholder in the rule of law.
Based on this, WJP’s mutually reinforcing lines of business employ a multi-disciplinary approach through original research and data, an active and global network, and practical, locally led programs to advance the rule of law worldwide.
