Partnering to promote the rule of law

CILC partners with organisations spanning the judicial community. Our Dutch partners include the Ministry of Justice and organisations from across the judicial chain. They often participate in our projects by serving as partners or by providing experts. Internationally, we join forces with colleague organisations, including project organisations and NGOs and INGOs. Together we realise projects, submit joint tenders and conduct other joint activities.

Our European partners include agencies such as Europol and Eurojust. At the country level, we cooperate closely with local organisations on the ground to carry out projects. They play a pivotal role as our eyes on the ground, giving us a clear picture of local developments.

Partners

Our partners are invaluable to us

Expertise

Our partners make expertise and experts available for our projects. By aligning the expertise to the projects, together we undertake activities that meet a genuine need and produce lasting results.

People

Our partners bring us into contact with the people who have the knowledge and experience to carry out often highly complex projects. In many cases, our partners second experts to take part in our projects. This hands-on support is vital for achieving our objectives.

Local Know-How

Having eyes and support on the ground is crucial for successful projects. Our local partners provide us with invaluable knowledge, know-how and understanding of the local history, governmental system, culture, challenges and opportunities. This local know-how sets CILC apart.

Our partners in the Netherlands

We have longstanding collaborations with multiple partners in the Netherlands. They include the Ministry of Justice and other partners in the Dutch judicial field such as the Council for the Judiciary, the Netherlands Public Prosecution Service, the Dutch National Police, the Ombudsman and the SSR training institute.
