> RE:  IBA- INTERNATIONAL RULE OF LAW DIRECTORY
>
> With a grant from the United States Institute of Peace, the International
> Bar Association (IBA) is creating an online worldwide directory of
> organisations providing rule of law assistance. The IBA is the world's
> largest international organisation of Law Societies, Bar Associations and
> individual lawyers engaged in international practice. The IBA was founded
in
> 1947. It is composed of over 16,000 individual lawyer members in 183
> countries and 178 Law Societies and Bar Associations.
>
> The proposed directory will consist of an online database from which the
> user will be able to access each organisation's website, identify its area
> of focus, geographical reach and contact details. The database will be
> searchable. Only organisations working in the field of the rule of law
which
> fit one or more of the categories listed on our directory will be
included.
>
> I would be extremely grateful if you could help me by locating
organisations
> working in the field of the rule of law in your country, so that we may
> contact them and invite them to be included in this directory. I am
> specifically seeking the names of relevant organisations, their contact
> details (including e-mail address) and the person to whom I should direct
> the request. We have prepared an electronic form, which is easy to
complete,
> to be sent to these organisations. If you wish to register your
> organisation, please click on http://www.roldirectory.org/ and follow the
> instructions.
>
> Please feel free to forward this message to other
> organisations working in the field of the rule of law. Please note that
> there are no costs involved in registering your organisation or accessing
> the information contained in the database.
>
> The IBA considers the primacy of the law as a  fundamental principle of
any
> democratic system seeking to foster and promote rights. The IBA believes
> that an easily accessible, online directory of entities involved in rule
of
> law will be an invaluable tool to those establishing and implementing rule
> of law programmes. The Directory will provide legal and governmental
> practitioners with instant access to entities that provide technical
> assistance in the area of rule of law.
>
> Thank you for your assistance and do not hesitate to contact me with
further
> questions.
