Pursuing Fair and Swift Administration
of Justice
By 2022, the country’s civil, criminal, commercial,
and administrative justice systems will be enhanced.
Significant reforms will be undertaken to ensure fair
and swift administration of justice. Consequently, the
country’s ranking in the World Governance Indicator
(WGI) rule of law will improve to be in the upper
half; the World Justice Project (WJP) fundamental
rights and criminal justice indicator to the upper
25 percentile; and WJP civil justice indicator to the
upper 20 percentile.
Strategies
Enhancing systems and rationalizing interdependence among justice sector
institutions or actors are essential developmental approaches to provide the timely
delivery of justice. There will be harmonized efforts and seamless coordination
among the different actors involved in civil, criminal, commercial, and administrative
justice. Strategies to implement these are as follows:
To enhance civil, criminal, commercial, and administrative justice systems
• Institutionalize the Justice Sector Coordinating Council.
• Strengthen economic justice.
• Deliver justice real-time.
To improve sector efficiency and accountability
• Deliver fair and equal justice.
• Enhance accountability through an engaged citizenry.
• Enhance sector efficiency.
