Justice for All | Report of the Task Force on Justice

Publication: Report

At the heart of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development lies a vision of a just, equitable, tolerant, open, and socially inclusive world in which the needs of the most vulnerable are met.

SDG16.3 promises to ensure equal access to justice for all by 2030. Other justice related targets cover legal identity, injustices such as corruption and illicit financial flows, and the promotion of rights and gender equality.

​Drawing on research by the world’s leading justice organizations and experts, the report of the Task Force on Justice proposes a different approach to justice – putting people at the center of justice systems and justice at the heart of sustainable development.

To achieve the goal of providing access to justice for all, we must:

  • Place justice at the heart of sustainable development

  • Put people at the center of justice systems

  • Move from justice for the few to justice for all

Measures that heighten the risk of human rights abuses can undermine trust, at a time when the justice system most needs to maintain the public’s confidence. For better or for worse, justice systems and justice workers are on the frontline of this pandemic.
