EXPANDING MEMBERSHIP
In 2013, Afghanistan was the newest IDLO Member Party. In the words of Afghan Ambassador to Italy Zia Uddin Nezam, "Formal accession to IDLO is the natural consequence of the strong relationship between Afghanistan and IDLO, as for many years IDLO has been playing an important role in the development of the rule of law in Afghanistan."
