The Informal Conference of Ministers of Justice of the Council of Europe is convened annually by the member state holding the rotating Presidency of the Committee of Ministers during the second half of the year. This high-level meeting provides a strategic platform for Justice Ministers across the Council’s 46 member states to engage in dialogue on urgent and evolving legal and judicial matters affecting Europe. The Conference fosters the exchange of best practices, facilitates mutual learning, and strengthens intergovernmental cooperation in the justice sector. Each edition of the Conference is centered around a thematic focus that reflects current or anticipated challenges and is rooted in the organisation’s core principles: Democracy, Human Rights and the Rule of Law.
