Peace, justice, and strong institutions are
fundamental enablers for achieving all the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and
ensuring the well-being and prosperity of all
people.

Terrorism:
Access to
Justice for All
Reduce
Violence
The focus here is on reducing illicit financial and arms
flows, combating organized crime, and significantly
reducing corruption and bribery.
This target aims to significantly reduce all forms of
violence and related death rates worldwide. It includes
violence against children, human trafficking, and other
forms of exploitation.
This target aims to ensure equal access to justice for
all individuals, regardless of their economic or social
status, and provide legal identity for everyone by
2030.

10. Inclusive Decision-
Making
Transparent
and
Accountable
Institutions
This target aims to promote inclusive decision-making
processes at all levels. It seeks to ensure that
institutions are representative, responsive,
participatory, and accountable to all segments of
society.
The goal is to develop effective, accountable, and
transparent institutions at all levels of government.
This includes strengthening the rule of law and
ensuring that institutions are responsive to the needs
of the people.

11. Reduce
Corruption
The goal is to substantially reduce corruption
and bribery in all their forms. Corruption
undermines trust in institutions and hampers
social and economic development.

12. Peaceful
Societies
Peace is the foundation for social harmony, economic growth,
and overall well-being. In peaceful societies, people can live
without fear and violence, enabling them to focus on personal
and collective development.
Access to
Justice
Ensuring access to justice for all individuals, particularly
marginalized and vulnerable populations, is vital for upholding
human rights, promoting equality, and maintaining a just society.
Strong
Institutions
Effective and accountable institutions are essential for good
governance, policy implementation, and service delivery. They foster
public trust and confidence, leading to sustainable development
outcomes.

13. EW
E&H
Peace is conducive to economic growth and
prosperity as resources can be invested in
development rather than conflict.
Peaceful environments allow children to attend
school without fear, and healthcare services can be
provided without disruption.
CR
Peaceful resolutions to conflicts lead to
sustainable solutions and prevent the
escalation of violence and hostility.

14. Access to justice
ensures that human
rights are protected
and individuals can
seek remedies for
violations.
A just society ensures
that everyone is treated
equally under the law,
regardless of their
background.
Justice contributes to
social cohesion by
addressing grievances
and fostering a sense
of fairness and trust
among the population.

15. Strong institutions lead to
effective governance,
where policies are
designed to serve the
public interest and
promote sustainable
development.
Accountable institutions
garner public trust and
confidence in the
government and its
functions, ensuring
legitimacy.
Strong institutions
play a vital role in
implementing and
monitoring
progress toward
achieving all the
SDGs.

16. Conflict
and
Violence
Ongoing conflicts and violence in various regions hinder
progress toward peace and justice.
Corruption
Rampant corruption erodes public trust and weakens the
effectiveness of institutions.
Inequality
Disparities in access to justice and services can undermine social
cohesion and inclusivity.
Lack of
Capacity
Weak institutional capacity may impede effective governance and
service delivery.

17. Encourage
peaceful
dialogue,
mediation, and
peacebuilding
efforts to resolve
conflicts and
prevent them
from escalating.
Enhance
transparency
and
accountability in
public
institutions to
reduce
corruption and
ensure fair and
just governance.
Implement legal
reforms to ensure
equal access to
justice for all,
especially for
marginalized
groups and
vulnerable
populations.
Anti-Corruption
Measures
Establish and
strengthen anti-
corruption
mechanisms
and promote
integrity and
ethics in all
sectors.

ensure diverse
voices are heard
and considered.
