📢 How can justice systems harness the opportunities presented by artificial intelligence (AI) while protecting human rights, ensuring accountability, and keeping people’s lived experiences at the center? With support from a new $250,000 grant from the Patrick J. McGovern Foundation (@PJMFdn), Pathfinders for Peaceful, Just and Inclusive Societies (@SDG16Plus)—an initiative hosted by #NYUCIC—will develop an international people-centered justice and AI framework. ⚖️🤖 Created in coordination with the Justice Action Coalition, and with active contributions from @ODI_Global, @UNHumanRights, @WorldBankGroup, and @InnoJustice, the framework will offer practical guidance to policymakers and justice leaders. Our team will then work with 3️⃣ national governments to adapt the guidance and prepare them to pilot specific projects. 🌍 🚨The need is urgent: More than 5 billion people live outside the reach of the justice systems meant to protect them, while AI is already reshaping those systems.

⭕ NEW: @mfrodriguezok, Senior Fellow at @nyucic, breaks down what protecting children and adolescents from violence reveals about the institutional conditions of access to justice. “Children represent nearly a third of the world’s population yet remain largely invisible in justice efforts. Precisely for that reason, their journeys are the most crucial test of whether a system is truly centered on people.” English: sdg16.plus/resources/the-inv… Spanish: sdg16.plus/resources/la-arqu… #PeopleCenteredJustice #JusticeForChildren #AccessToJustice #JusticeForAll #SDG16 #NYUCIC

🟣 Ya está disponible el Anexo Temático "Mujeres y prisión: La prisión como resultado de trayectorias fallidas de acceso a la justicia," elaborado por la Alianza Iberoamericana para el Acceso a Justicia. El documento analiza la situación de las mujeres privadas de libertad en Iberoamérica desde una perspectiva fundamental: la prisión no es un punto de partida,sino que muchas veces representa el último eslabón de una trayectoria marcada por fallas acumulativas en el acceso a la justicia. 🔑 Algunos hallazgos: ▪️ La mayoría de las mujeres encuestadas están privadas de libertad por delitos no violentos. ▪️ Muchas son madres y eran las principales cuidadoras de sus hijas e hijos antes de su detención. ▪️ Un número significativo atravesó por experiencias de violencia antes de entrar en contacto con el sistema penal. ▪️ Cuando hablan de lo más difícil del encierro, muestran el impacto que trasciende la pérdida de libertad. 📊 Detrás de la privación de libertad aparecen con frecuencia trayectorias atravesadas por pobreza, violencia de género y responsabilidades de cuidado, frente a las cuales los sistemas de justicia y protección no siempre ofrecieron respuestas oportunas y que, en muchos casos, terminan confluyendo en la criminalización y el encarcelamiento. Por eso, este anexo al Reporte “El acceso a justicia de las mujeres en Iberoamérica: Brechas estructurales, trayectorias y respuestas centradas en las personas,” propone entre sus recomendaciones: la asistencia jurídica temprana, el uso excepcional de la prisión preventiva, alternativas efectivas al encarcelamiento, una gestión penitenciaria con enfoque de género y un acompañamiento adecuado después de la prisión. Avanzar hacia una justicia centrada en las personas también implica preguntarnos qué respuestas pueden prevenir que la prisión se convierta en el desenlace de trayectorias de exclusión y falta de acceso efectivo a la justicia. 📄 Leé el documento completo: sdg16.plus/resources/mujeres… #JusticiaCentradaenlasPersonas #MujeresyPrision #JusticiaparalasMujeres #ODS16

♎ 👭 Without a justice system that effectively works for women, the promise of justice for all people will remain incomplete. Moving toward women-centered justice is ultimately a strategic commitment for the Ibero-American region. By doing so, this can: 🌎 Fulfill international obligations ⚖️ Strengthen the rule of law 🏢 Improve the quality of institutions 🫂 Consolidate more inclusive and resilient democracies. Learn about our vision for #PeopleCenteredJustice for women in the Ibero-American region in our latest report. 🔽 sdg16.plus/resources/womens-… #SDG16 #Agenda2030 #IBA #GlobalGoals

“Inequality.” 💬 This term is invoked so frequently, and so loosely, that its opposite—equality—can start to sound less like a real goal and more like a decorative phrase in policy speeches and academic debate. Part of what makes inequality so challenging to tackle is that we struggle to agree on what it even is. Countries define it differently, measure it differently, and respond to it differently. Yet whatever the approach, as @amitabhbehar, Executive Director of @Oxfam International, has argued, “ending inequality is a political choice.” Some hold that a degree of inequality is inherent to any society and lies beyond the reach of political will, but on one point there is little disagreement: reducing it, or at least trying to, is a choice ⏩ Our newest analysis authored by Jeronimo Pareja-Cardona, @SDG16Plus Program Officer, follows that “choice” through three moments. Before anyone can reduce inequality, someone has to define it, decide how to measure it, and choose how to respond; and none of those steps are neutral.

💡 At the United Nations Global Dialogue on AI Governance in Geneva, Switzerland this past July, Hon. Judge Samuel Arias Arzeno explains why justice systems are essential to ensuring AI respects human rights. Key takeaways: ⚖️ AI governance is truly tested when people seek justice after their rights have been affected by AI. 🌍 International human rights law already provides the foundation—we must strengthen justice systems to enforce it. 🚨 Courts can serve as an early warning system, identifying regulatory gaps and informing better AI governance. ✅ We need greater institutional capacity, transparency, human oversight, and access to justice. 🇩🇴 He also highlights the Dominican Republic's leadership in the Justice Action Coalition, where it co-leads work on emerging technologies and AI in justice with the World Bank.

➡ ️ Looking for a tool that can help organizations build justice systems that work effectively for women, and society as a whole? Our report, “Women's Access to Justice in Ibero-America: Structural Gaps, Trajectories, and People-Centered Responses,” is now available in English! 🌎 This comprehensive overview from the Ibero-American Alliance for Access to Justice looks at the actual conditions under which women access or are excluded from justice in the region. Key messages include: ✔️ Women's #AccessToJustice is an ongoing process, not a one-off event. ✔️ Guaranteeing women's access to justice requires intervention before, during, and after the judicialization of the conflict. ✔️ Civil and administrative justice are critical spaces for substantive equality.
