Practicing Access to Justice in Myanmar
Date and time
Location
The Boardroom - School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet)
Level 1, Coombs Extension Building 8, Fellows Road The Australian National University Canberra, ACT 2601 AustraliaDescription
Amidst the ongoing uncertainties of Myanmar’s political transition and efforts to build peace, rule of law rhetoric continues to dominate public debate, despite a broad silence around acknowledging both past and ongoing impunity and injustice. The MyJustice programme has sought to navigate the space in between, working to provoke public discussion and support community justice initiatives, and prompting policy-makers to take account of evidence of local realities.
Join us for an evening in conversation with Caitlin Reiger (Team Leader, MyJustice, British Council) to hear her insights for practice in a politically complex setting.
Light refreshments will be served at the conclusion of the discussion.
Organised by
The Law and Justice Development Community of Practice (CoP) brings together practitioners engaged in regional and international law and justice initiatives, particularly those funded by Australia.
Members are professionals working across government, research institutions, non-governmental organisations and the private sector who design, fund, implement and research projects in the broad field of law and justice development.
Established following an inaugural expert workshop in November 2016, the Community of Practice is a platform to connect local and international practitioners within Australia and the Asia Pacific - to share ideas, learn from professional peers, make new connections and explore opportunities to collaborate.
