Creating mature and professional legal and law enforcement institutions will assist in the transition to a stable environment. This task extends beyond creating competent security services, phasing out armed groups which operate outside the formal political system, and coping with ongoing security threats. A successful long-term transition for a post-conflict country requires legal institutions and law enforcement agencies to be professionally capable and effective at providing security, but also to operate under a rule of law.

The challenges of unstable or conflict zones include:

1. Developing and implementing procedural frameworks that are fair and inclusive;
2. Integrating and synchronizing judicial and policing bodies;
3. Developing professional standards of conduct and implementing good governance and anti-corruption measures;
4. Training security organizations to act consistently with both local and international human rights standards.

We are uniquely qualified to support US, international, and host nation authorities in the development, implementation, and monitoring of rule of law (RoL) and law enforcement programs. Our Security Sector and RoL personnel are experts in law enforcement, procedural RoL training, and governance.
