🚨Happening now🚨 Sam Muller addresses the International Legal Ethics Conference, 2024. Justice systems are not resolving people’s legal problems. Surveys show across the world people are not finding solutions. Instability. Violence. How do we talk abt digitizing such system?

The worst thing that can happen is to digitize what we currently have. But there is good news, we have an actionable way forward. The OECD ➡️ Better Policies for Better Lives Recommendation on #AccesstoJustice & #PCJ provide an agenda for transforming justice systems by centering people’s needs.

#LegalDesign is identifying delivery models that meet people’s needs. However, innovations need to be integrated into the justice system to be sustainable. We have too many failed pilots that never took off #SDG16

I wrote to the Govt of #Pakistan to express serious concern about proposed constitutional amendments that directly impact judicial independence and the right to a fair trial. An independent, impartial judiciary is essential to the preservation of democracy. The letter can be

#Pakistan: Volker Türk concerned that latest constitutional amendments – adopted hastily, without broad consultation and debate – will seriously undermine independence of the judiciary. Constitutional reforms must be in line with international human rights law.

#Sudan: We are extremely concerned by the escalating violence in Al-Jazirah State, where at least 124 people have been killed & many subjected to sexual violence. Volker Türk urges all parties to de-escalate the situation and put a stop to violations by their forces.

Thank you for the crippling economies, nutritional deficiencies, extractive elites and lasting conflicts over land boundaries. Also for erasing our histories and making us dependent on global aid and debt. Nobody wants your railways.

Im ashamed that I did not realise the extent of human suffering caused by the RSF in #Sudan. Sexual violence as a tool of war must stop. There must be accountability for the mass displacement and starvation.

The ‘War on Drugs’ destroyed lives and damaged communities. Criminalisation and prohibition have failed to reduce drug use and deter drug-related crimes. We need new approaches prioritising health, dignity and inclusion, guided by the Int.Guidelines onHuman Rights & Drug Policy.
