ABOUT THE IIJ

The International Institute for Justice and the Rule of Law (IIJ), located in Malta, has a mission to deliver innovative and sustainable capacity-building through the implementation of counter-terrorism-related, rule of law-based good practices developed by the Global Counterterrorism Forum (GCTF) and other international and regional fora.

Since its inauguration in 2014, the IIJ has trained more than 7000 criminal justice practitioners through its interactive capacity-building workshops – in Malta and abroad – that enhance the competencies of parliamentarians, judges, prosecutors, police, prison and other criminal justice practitioners to address terrorism and related transnational criminal activities within a rule of law framework. The IIJ delivers capacity-building training tailored to the needs of the regions it serves, including: North, West and East Africa; the Middle East; and select engagement in the Balkans, and Central, South and Southeast Asia. For more information on the IIJ, please visit the Institute’s website at theiij.org.

CT PHARE

While many countries have developed legal frameworks and institutions to protect human rights, these have not always been integrated effectively, or at all, into counterterrorism-related criminal justice responses. Furthermore, several of the counterterrorism measures that a number of states have adopted in recent years have negatively impacted or even violated, a wide range of human rights, such as the right to life, the prohibition on torture or inhumane or degrading treatment, or the right to a fair trial.

In this context, the IIJ has launched a project entitled CT PHARE (Platform for Human Rights Engagement), with the specific objective to increase the degree to which states’ counterterrorism policies, legislation, and judicial strategies, in addition to day-to-day investigation and prosecution practices, comply with internationally-recognised human rights standards – both on the policy and the operational levels.
