「世界正義挑戰」(World Justice Challenge,簡稱WJC)是一項由國際組織World Justice Project主辦的大型國際性計畫競賽,今年的主題是「法治」,以「民主基礎」為中心(The Rule of Law: Foundation of Democracy.),關注加強法治的有效策略,抵抗極權專制,重建對民主治理的信任。總計有109個國家、424個公民團體報名。

今日台灣時間凌晨01:30,在美國律師公會年會期間,WJC於芝加哥舉辦入圍30名1的最後決賽,最終選出五大主題各一位的大獎得主。

民間司改會由黃寬心律師(國際事務暨數位人權專案經理)代表出席,成功拿下大獎!讓世界再次看見台灣公民社會影響力,也看見台灣最老牌司法改革組織永續經營的成績!尤其今年適逢318運動十週年,以318義務律師平台為核心說明台灣公民社會在守護法治上的努力,此獎項格外具有意義。

感謝主辦單位,也感謝熱愛台灣、共同守護民主法治的民間司改會夥伴們。民間司改會將繼續努力,也期待在威權擴張時代下,台灣鞏固民主法治的決心與策略,能提供區域民主夥伴們信心與支持。

1包含奈及利亞地方組織Kimpact Development Initiative、波蘭地方組織Free Courts Foundation、賽爾維亞地方組織YUCOM (Lawyers' Committee for Human Rights)、拉丁美洲區域性組織The Cyrus R. Vance Center for International Justice等。
