The Raoul Wallenberg Institute has for over 20 years cooperated with justice sector institutions throughout the world and has gained exceptional experience and know-how of how to best support justice sector institutions in the field of human rights. Police, prosecutors, judges, lawyers, prisons and justice sector training academies have all been supported by the Institute’s bilateral and regional capacity development programmes.
