We are impact-focused, aiming to achieve direct and sustained practical impacts on law, policy and decision-making and directly participating in topical debates where our work is relevant.

We are international in our approach and our reach, engaging directly with international and regional organisations, governmental and non-governmental.

We are comparative, drawing on relevant international comparisons

We use our convening power to combine our own expertise with extensive networks of relevant experts.

We work collaboratively with partners who share our values to advance the Rule of Law and we engage actively with relevant stakeholders in the Rule of Law field.

We are reflective, monitoring and evaluating our work against clear targets to assess its impact. We keep our choice of means to achieve our goals under constant review in light of that assessment.

We operate at all times in an independent, research-based, non-partisan way, as part of a charitable applied research institute.
