The E4J Global Dialogue Serie started with a virtual high-level opening, co-organized by UNODC and UNESCO, with the participation of senior officials from UNODC, UNESCO, and other relevant stakeholders. It served as an opportunity to discuss ways and means to promote education for the rule of law, thus enabling the speakers to make joint decisions for a more comprehensive and diversified approach to strengthen education for the rule of law and to support the implementation of the Sustainable Development Agenda.
