Rule of Law, Peace and Security (Short clip)

Rule of law is the basis for peace and security. In post-conflict environments reconciliation and stability require strong, responsive and inclusive institutions.

Social cohesion is possible when people can trust their institutions to resolve disputes promptly and fairly, and provide access to basic services, including justice and security. In 2007, the General Assembly of the United Nations established the Office of Rule of Law and Security Institutions (OROLSI) inside the Department of Peacekeeping Operations to specifically address issues of rule of law and security.
