Learn more about the rule of law and how civil society can engage in the 2024 EU Rule of Law dialogue in our new briefer.

A strong rule of law often indicates a healthy civic space and vice versa.

In our briefer, you can learn more about the EU's Rule of Law Mechanism, why it is important to join its 2024 cycle, and what are civil society’s recommendations to the European Commission on how to continue strengthening the Rule of Law Report and CSO participation.
