In Lebanon there's no way to check your court case online. You find out where it stands by driving to the courthouse. This weekend at Berytech, lawyers and engineers get 48 hours to build that tool. Not a new law. Just a page that tells you where your case is. Hack4Justice, by @InnoJustice and @berytech with Lebanon's Ministry of Justice, the Beirut Bar Association and @DutchMFA.

*Train. Adapt. Take your place.* According to the @InnoJustice (Hague Institute for Innovation of Law), 64% of Kenyans with legal problems turn to alternative justice mechanisms. Only 17% seek redress through courts and tribunals, with just about 5% engaging an advocate. The remaining 19% do nothing. That 64% is not a threat. It is an opportunity. As a @Ciarb member, I applaud the MoU between @lawsocietykenya and CIArb that supports advocates’ training. I had the privilege of engaging the first cohort of 110 advocates undertaking CIArb arbitration training. This training equips advocates to expand their practice beyond the courtroom and position themselves where disputes are increasingly being resolved. Congratulations to the first cohort. The disputes are evolving. The Bar must evolve with them.

⚖️ Justice systems are under growing pressure worldwide. Yet across regions, innovative people-centered approaches are helping drive meaningful change. 🌍 In a blog for @Mo_IbrahimFdn, @leena-badri reflects on the recent Justice Matters conference, hosted by HiiL (@InnoJustice), and highlights several initiatives advancing #AccessToJustice and justice reform globally, including efforts led by @nyuCIC. 🤝 Among them are Pathfinders and our African Alliance for People-Centered Justice (#AAPCJ) and Ibero-American Alliance for Access to Justice (#IBA), two initiatives helping connect justice leaders, strengthen collaboration, and advance practical solutions rooted in people’s everyday justice needs. 📌 At a time of compounding crises, #inequality, democratic backsliding, and conflict, building more accessible, inclusive, and people-centered justice systems is more important than ever. 📖 Read the blog: mo.ibrahim.foundation/news/2…. 💡Learn about the AAPCJ: sdg16.plus/african-alliance-…. 🔗 Learn about the Ibero-American Alliance for Access to Justice: sdg16.plus/ibero-american-al…. #JusticeForAll #PeopleCenteredJustice #SDG16 #InternationalCooperation #RuleOfLaw

Ahead of @MunSecConf, we feel it is important to center justice in the conversations about security and global security. @InnoJustice
💬 "Security built on deterrence alone will not hold." In an op-ed for @Devex, our CEO Nathalie Delapalme, alongside Udo Jude Ilo (@UdoIlo) , argues that security does not begin with deterrence or military strength, it begins with justice. Read here: bit.ly/4tx1Hqv

💡 Today’s @OECD Global Roundtable on Equal Access to Justice session, "Measuring the Performance of People-Centered Justice," underscored a fundamental truth: without strong, meaningful data, we cannot build justice systems that are fair, responsive, or trusted. Robust measurement frameworks are essential for accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement.
