The Bingham Centre for the Rule of Law

Founded in 2010, the work of the Bingham Centre has already demonstrated the need for a body solely dedicated to the promotion and enhancement of the rule of law worldwide, which:

• provides an intellectual framework to define and implement the rule of law as a universal and practical concept;
• highlights threats to the rule of law;
• produces high quality studies and training on rule of law issues, drawing on comparative examples and seeking practical outcomes;
• supports capacity-building and promotes a wider appreciation of the rule of law among governments, decision makers and the wider public, and
• demonstrates how the rule of law upholds respect for human dignity and enchances economic development and political stability
