International Development Law Organization

IDLO is the only intergovernmental organization with an exclusive mandate to promote the rule of law. Governments, multilateral organizations, private foundations and the private sector support the company's work. The company is headquartered in Rome, where the company were first founded, and where the company continue to enjoy strong support from... the Italian government. The company is present in The Hague, a city whose hospitality connects the company with an unrivalled legal tradition. And the company is represented at the United Nations in New York and Geneva, where the company helps shape the debate about human rights and development. The company's vision is one where law, broadly defined, creates the premises for development. The company enables countries to design, reform and strengthen those laws and institutions most apt to deliver justice, dignity and economic opportunity. The company do not champion law for laws sake: if the company promote well-functioning courts, the company also strive to make them accessible.

The same emphasis on the end-user informs IDLOs record on commercial law, intellectual property law, environmental law, and every other area of law, national or international.Read More
