About Us
The WJP is an independent, multidisciplinary organization working to advance the rule of law worldwide.
Our Work
We engage advocates from across the globe and from multiple work disciplines to advance the rule of law.
Education
A key component of civic engagement, education improves opportunities for students, increasing social stability and economic competitiveness. Corruption and disregard for laws regulating learning standards lead to poorly functioning school systems which, ultimately, reduce learning outcomes for students. For education to fully achieve its potential, it is important to ensure that governments and educators, as well as leaders from business and civil society, uphold and promote the rule of law.
