The International Institute for Justice and the Rule of Law (IIJ) provides rule of law-based training to lawmakers, police, prosecutors, judges, corrections officials, and other justice sector stakeholders on how to address terrorism and related transnational criminal activities within a rule of law framework. More broadly, it works to strengthen criminal justice systems and build regional judicial, police and other criminal justice practitioner networks to promote justice, security, and human rights. The IIJ places a particular focus on countries seeking to develop rule of law-based approaches to addressing security challenges such as terrorism and other transnational criminal activities. Although the IIJ’s mandate will be global in nature, initial focus is on countries in North, West, and East Africa, and the Middle East, paying particular attention to supporting countries in transition.

G8 leaders welcomed the International Institute for Justice and the Rule of Law (IIJ) in their statement at the June 2013 G8 Summit. A range of governments and international, regional, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) collaborated on developing the IIJ’s mandate, mission, structure, legal foundation, and curriculum.
