The Global Forum aims to connect governments, think-tanks, regional and international organizations, International Financial Institutions, private sector and civil society organizations to identify, discuss and produce innovative and customized legal solutions to regional and national development challenges. It seeks to promote a better understanding of the role of law and justice for sustainable development, effectively integrate legal and judicial institutions in the development process, encourage cogeneration of innovative legal solutions and support accessibility and dissemination of knowledge.
