Ibero-American Alliance

The Ibero-American Alliance for Access to Justice is a multi-stakeholder platform which brings together organizations and associations, including civil society, who are committed to, and working on, the provision of access to justice for all in the Ibero-American region. The focus is on contributing to accelerate the implementation of SDG 16.3 in the region with special emphasis on data and innovation, the promotion of a regional normative framework for access to justice, and people-centered justice models.

What We Do

In dialogue with the Justice Action Coalition, the Alliance works to coordinate efforts of the varied justice sector ecosystem in the region so as to promote synergies, highlight and exchange best practices as well as challenges facing the sector. The aim is to make visible the wide ranging efforts of the sector in the region as well as to promote and mobilize both political and financial support for the sector. To facilitate the exchange of knowledge and experiences, and to help overcome language barriers, this webpage will be maintained in Spanish, Portuguese, and English and include all activities and materials from members of the Alliance.

Ibero-American Justice for All Progress Report

In 2023, the Ibero-American Alliance for Access to Justice will present its first Regional Progress Report on Justice for All in Ibero-America. It is designed as an input to the report being undertaken by the broader Justice Action Coalition. The report will present:

Data on the justice gap in the region as well as innovation in trying to close that gap (generation and analysis of data on the justice gap; generation and analysis of data about the digital gap, and ICTs in the justice ecosystem; generation of data and analysis on open justice)
Progress on a normative framework for a Ibero-American convention on Access to Justice
Experiences relating to access to justice for groups in vulnerable situations (justice for women, justice for children, groups facing multiple structural inequalities)

The report will present a compilation and analysis of data from regional, national, and local legal needs surveys, victimization studies, other relevant surveys and polls, organizational and administrative sources, platforms and datasets on open justice, civil society research and data, and others relevant studies. In doing so, the report will promote a common framework that will highlight the need to invest and achieve equal access to justice for all.

The report will also showcase people-centered justice services that are being implemented by both the public sector and civil society, as well as examples of legal empowerment that are being carried out in the region.
