On 22-23 August 2019, a meeting of the RJRCs Interregional Working Group (IRWG) took place, aimed at developing sector policy proposals with regard to people-driven and people-participatory justice. The IRWG in question consisted of thematic experts from all RJRCs regions and included judges, advocates, and academia. During the meeting, international and national Project experts assisted and provided their advice to IRWG.
