  • 27-28 March 2019, Lisbon, Portugal from Measurement to Impact In
    27-28 March 2019, Lisbon, Portugal From measurement to impact in achieving justice for all Agenda At the invitation of the Government of Portugal, the OECD is holding its 5th Global Policy Roundtable on Equal Access to Justice on 27-28 March 2019 in Lisbon, Portugal. Under the purview of the Public Governance Committee, the meeting takes place in the context of increasing efforts across OECD and partner countries to strengthen equal and user-centric access to justice for inclusive growth and sustainable development. In particular, the 2019 Global Roundtable further explores ways to ensure effective access to justice by enabling people-centred justice pathways to address legal needs of citizens and business, including vulnerable communities. It will provide an opportunity to review country progress to adequately invest in and improve access to justice for all as part of the UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16 on inclusive institutions and access to justice. As part of this effort, the discussion will also showcase country-specific initiatives taken to implement commitments under the Riga Statement on “Investing in Access to Justice for all!”, which was adopted by Ministers, high-level participants from OECD member and partner countries and members of the Task Force on Justice of the Pathfinders for Peaceful, Just and Inclusive Societies on 6 July 2018 during the 4th OECD Policy Roundtable on Equal Access to Justice. The event offers a mix of high-level plenaries and policy-oriented breakout / lab sessions. The high-level plenary discussions aim to highlight country progress and commitments in promoting and investing in access to justice as a mean to achieving a more just, peaceful and inclusive society.
