15 - 05 - 2012 After a successful start of the Rule of Law Assistance Project in March, a second meeting was held on 24 April 2012.
The following steps were decided:
- First, two pilots in relation to a (light) mechanism for debriefing;
- Second, a feasibility study of a mechanism enabling rapid location of and contact with organisations and experts possessing the relevant know-how and experience in areas of rule of law assistance, e.g. a “secretariat” (for want of a better term) or a roster; and
- Third, one pilot with regard to regular policy meetings on Dutch rule of law policies and the comparative advantage of Dutch assistance.
