Mongolia

Anglais

Landlocked and traditionally isolated, Mongolia possesses a great wealth of under-exploited natural resources, including gold, silver and copper, as well as 10% of the world's known coal reserves. Although the country is peaceful and politically stable, corruption, insufficient transparency in government affairs, and an ambiguous foreign investment legal framework have undermined its capacity to fully capitalize on its economic potential.

Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is an efficient and effective tool for settling disputes outside a courtroom. In Mongolia, where the growth of private sector activities has been accompanied by a rise in civil and commercial cases, ADR practices, such as mediation, are becoming increasingly popular.

Key Initiatives

  • Mongolia's justice system has seen progress in recent years, yet the need for greater judicial transparency, including through improved media coverage of court proceedings, remains. IDLO, with support from the European Union, is working with the Government of Mongolia to tackle the issue through the project "Judicial Engagement and Transparency."

  • The continued challenges Mongolia faces in implementing its anti-corruption reforms demonstrate a clear need for improvement in the immediate detection of corruption cases and stronger international cooperation and mutual legal assistance in corruption-related criminal matters.
  • Funded by the Delegation of the European Union to Mongolia, the “Child Protection Enhancement Project” (CPEP) builds on the results of its first phase of COVID-19 response programming addressing child access to justice in Mongolia. CPEP works to enhance the child protection system and support Mongolian children by building the technical and professional skills of Legal Committees for Child Rights (LCCRs) through mentorship and advanced training.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to contain it have had severe and long-lasting impacts on Mongolia. Though prevention and containment measures have successfully prevented a large-scale health crisis, extended lockdowns have negatively affected children’s access to education, psychological and physical wellbeing and reduced the capacity of the Mongolian justice system to respond to crimes against children.
