The second phase of the Justice Sector Strategic Plan, a roadmap to enhance Bhutan’s legal system from 2024 to 2029, was launched today. This plan aims to build a fair, accessible, and inclusive justice sector while contributing to the nation’s socio-economic development in line with the 13th Five-Year Plan. The event was graced by Her Royal Highness Princess Sonam Dechan Wangchuck.

A fair and efficient legal environment is crucial for encouraging businesses and investors.

Bhutan is ranked 72nd out of 215 countries in the rule of law, according to the World Bank. To improve this ranking, the plan focuses on better law enforcement, judicial procedures, and legal education. Additionally, according to the document, reducing case backlogs and resolving commercial disputes faster will make doing business easier and attract foreign investment.

“When it comes to justice sector agencies, people often assume our work is limited to punishment and investigation. However, with this strategic plan, the justice sector’s role extends beyond delivering legal services to promoting economic growth and fostering community harmony through robust justice services,” said Ugyen Wangdi, Chief Attorney, OAG.

According to Bhutan Transparency Initiative’s survey, public satisfaction with justice services was approximately 80 per cent last year. The new plan aims to raise this to 90 per cent by 2029.

He added, “We will consistently work towards enhancing our justice system by improving public service delivery to provide equitable and fair justice services, ensuring no one is left behind.”

The plan also aims to address the shortage of human resources, budget constraints, and limited coordination among relevant agencies.

Multiple law enforcement agencies and legal institutions were involved in the development of the document. The initiative was supported by UNDP and UNICEF.
