Are You Helping Bridge the Justice Gap?
The United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal 16 promises "justice for all." Yet 5 billion people have unmet justice needs globally, including people who cannot obtain justice for everyday problems, people who are excluded from the opportunity the law provides, and people who live in extreme conditions of injustice. Bridging this justice gap will require outside-the-box thinking and massive, global action from a wide range of actors.

Convened on a theme of "Realizing Justice for All," the 2019 World Justice Forum will be one of a series of events mobilizing further action to accelerate implementation of SDG 16. The World Justice Project invites governments, organizations, and individuals to use the World Justice Forum to highlight their justice initiatives.

Submit your "Commitment to Justice" today to join the movement, showcase your work, and spur others to action! Commitments will be featured on WJP’s website and at the World Justice Forum. Following the event, WJP will coordinate registration of Commitments to Justice on the UN Partnerships for the SDGs’ global registry of voluntary commitments, where organizations can also post subsequent updates and progress reports.

Despite notable strides, challenges remain in fully implementing the Truth, Reconciliation and Reparations Commission (TRRC) recommendations.
