Rule of law

The Mission’s key priority in the field of the rule of law is strengthening the professionalism, effectiveness and independence of the judiciary. It helps educate legal practitioners in criminal and civil justice, harmonizes existing legislation with international standards and promotes utilizing mediation as an alternative in resolving disputes. It also supports improvements to the work of the State Prosecutor’s Office in the area of public relations. In the fight against corruption and organized crime, the Mission supports the development and implementation of a new legislative framework. The Mission also trains judges, prosecutors, and the police on detecting, investigating, and prosecuting corruption and organized crime, in particular high-profile cases.
