The rule of law and access to justice are foundational pillars for democratic governance and sustainable development. They are essential for the protection of human rights, the enforcement of law, and the overall functioning of democratic societies.

As part of the 3rd Summit for Democracy in Korea, this virtual event aims to highlight innovative strategies and collaborative efforts in strengthening the people-centered rule of law and enhancing access to justice globally, with a view to strengthening democratic resilience.

Co-founded and hosted by the NYU Center on International Cooperation, the Pathfinders work to accelerate delivery of SDG16+ through three ‘Grand Challenges’: Halving Global Violence, Justice for All, and addressing Inequality and Exclusion.

Driven by research, evidence, and a multi-stakeholder approach, the Pathfinders act at international levels to support effective policy, advocacy, and convening for a world that is free of fear and violence.

 

 

  1. HALVING GLOBAL VIOLENCE

    The international mobilization to halve global violence by 2030 is led by the Halving Global Violence Task Force, a diverse and exceptional group of "architects" working to help policymakers worldwide deliver on this ambitious agenda. 

  2. JUSTICE FOR ALL

    The Pathfinders’ Grand Challenge on Justice acts as an impact hub, bringing together countries, civil society, and multilateral organizations to close the justice gap by investing in people-centered justice.

  3. ADDRESSING INEQUALITY & EXCLUSION

    The Pathfinders' Grand Challenge on Inequality & Exclusion is a cross-regional alliance of countries, civil society, and multilateral partners seeking to identify practical, politically-viable solutions to combat inequality, exclusion, and divisions at the national and international level, and advocating for the achievement of the 2030 Agenda targets for more equitable and inclusive societies (SDG16+).
