The Summit of the Future is a high-level event, bringing world leaders together to forge a new international consensus on how we deliver a better present and safeguard the future. Effective global cooperation is increasingly critical to our survival but difficult to achieve in an atmosphere of mistrust, using outdated structures that no longer reflect today’s political and economic realities.
“This once-in-a-generation opportunity serves as a moment to mend eroded trust and demonstrate that international cooperation can effectively achieve agreed goals and tackle emerging threats and opportunities.”
One of the key ambitions of the Pact of the Future (as stated in the current version – Rev.3) is to “accelerate progress towards achieving the [sustainable development] goals, including through concrete political steps and mobilizing significant financing for developing countries”.
It is in this context and backdrop that the Justice Action Coalition Workstream on Justice Financing will host a hybrid meeting on the sidelines of the Summit of the Future to discuss effective financing for justice and the proposed Justice Financing Framework. The meeting aims to:
- Emphasize the importance of financing for justice differently to ensure improved outcomes for people;
- Provide an opportunity for members of the Workstream on Justice Financing to, for the first time, unpack the draft concept and roadmap of the Justice Financing Framework to participants who will include governments, permanent missions to the UN, judiciaries, World Bank, OECD, donors, policy makers and justice sector technical experts, amongst others; and
- Generate feedback and input on the proposed framework and roadmap, to help to refine the Framework and to promote the ultimate adoption and use of the Framework by a broad range of actors within the justice sector.
