Based on the Global Mapping of over 200 development-focused e-justice projects, this paper outlines how e-justice can be a strategy to advance the rule of law, human rights protections and access to justice. It summarizes many of the risks, and opportunities of e-justice projects. With a special focus on six areas of technological change in the justice sector, and illustrative case studies of each, it highlights the practical application of these technologies. The paper sets out future directions and specific actions for UNDP leadership on e-justice. These actions are linked to the complementary set of tools for e-justice initiatives.
