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.
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."
