We promote the interests of the UK government in the EU, the Council of Europe and other international forums, in matters of criminal, civil and family justice, data protection, human rights and democratic engagement. We support the UK's legal services sector abroad and promote fair and effective justice systems internationally. We promote practical cooperation benefiting citizens, improving access to justice and rights, and liberalising markets.
We work alongside other government departments, and with stakeholders, to define our policy and advance it in the EU and other international bodies. We also work with Whitehall partners and the UK legal sector to secure better market access for them abroad. In addition, we support UK government justice reform efforts internationally, prioritising projects in Eastern Europe, China and sub-Saharan Africa.
