Violence, corruption and crime have devastating consequences for communities all over the world. Criminal law and criminal justice policy are powerful tools that can help keep communities safe. However, when resources are limited and communities are at risk it can often be difficult to quickly and accurately determine the best policy options for positive change. ICCLR has been leading criminal law and criminal justice policy reform projects since 1991. In Canada and internationally, ICCLR offers programming oriented to technical co-operation that is consistent with United Nations international human rights standards and with Canada’s international development goals. ICCLR’s long history of successful partnerships with authorities and civil society organizations all over the world speaks to the quality of our work and to our ability to continue to assist governments in developing and sustaining healthy, safe communities.
