The Rule of Law Unit reports to the Secretary-General through the Under Secretary-General for Policy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">The Rule of Law Unit is working towards furthering a strategic approach to the work of the Organization on the rule of law and in promoting the fundamental importance of the rule of law for dialogue and cooperation among Member States and provides support for the system-wide coordination, coherence, and quality of rule of law activities of the United Nations. Moreover, the Unit provides support to the Rule of Law Coordination and Resource Group in carrying out and implementing the tasks set out in the related report of the Secretary-General (A\/61\/636-S\/2006\/980). The Unit also serves as the focal point in the Executive Office for legal questions, counter-terrorism and the prevention of violent extremism, international justice and accountability and organized crime and drugs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":262,"featured_media":19417,"parent":19329,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-19326","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
