Rule of Law, Justice and Security for Security Sector Reform Missions

It is estimated that perhaps more than 40% of countries globally are in what may be described as a ¿fragile¿ state where normal standards accepted by the majority are either wholly or partially absent. Thus there is an increasing need for them to receive assistance from International Organisations such as the United Nations, OECD, associated donor countries and assistance providers in Security Sector Reform to either restore the Rule of Law, which encompasses justice and security, as well as the restoration and promotion of human rights. This short book is designed to give the information that will be of assistance to consultants who will be deployed in Security Sector Reform Programmes and identifies some of the problems that they may confront.
