The Global Judicial Integrity Network Advisory Board

The Advisory Board assists in the identification of priority challenges and emerging issues in judicial integrity and guides the development of the workplan of the Network based on the priorities identified in particular during the first meeting of the Network. The first set of members was identified by the Secretariat based on their active engagement in advancing judicial integrity within their countries, regions and at the global level.
