Ibero-American Alliance

In November 2023, the Ibero-American Alliance for Access to Justice launched its first Regional Progress Report on Access to Justice in Ibero-America.This report is also a joint deliverable of the Justice Action Coalition. The report is the first joint work carried out by the Alliance and presents a snapshot of the state of access to justice in Ibero-America and the efforts being made by actors in the justice ecosystem in the region to improve access to justice for all. It focuses on three areas:

• Data on the justice gap in the region, as well as innovation efforts in trying to close such gap;
• Progress on the development of a normative framework for a Regional Convention on Access to Justice
• Efforts being undertaken to leave no one behind and the role of community and customary justice in the region.

The report presents a compilation and analysis of data from regional, national, and local legal needs surveys, victimization studies, other relevant surveys and polls, organizational and administrative sources, platforms and datasets on open justice, civil society research and data, and other relevant studies. In doing so, the report promotes a common framework that highlights the need to invest and achieve equal access to justice for all.
