OIL Outcomes

• Knowledge/understanding based on a practitioner’s insight of the Rule of Comparative Law along with the trans-national values, principles and rules which underpin Legal Pluralism, as it applies to fair effective and accountable institutions such as the IDLO, which works to to build legal and judicial institutions in countries recovering from conflict and moving towards democracy.
• Knowledge/understanding based on a practitioner’s insight of what differentiates the rule of law from the rule by law i.e. human rights, with the rule of law operationalising human rights.
• Knowledge/understanding based on a practitioner’s insight of rule of law to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources can be maintained.
