Mission and objectivesThe Regional Center in Panama serves 24 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. RSC-LAC offers Country Offices (COs) and other clients readily accessible services, class advice and technical support, and a trustworthy source of knowledge, experiences, and resources provided by a group of experts and professionals. It works through its COs with governments and people to develop customized solutions to development challenges and thus help to strengthen local capacities.
Context Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) is the most democratic region among developing nations (behind Western Europe and North America), yet the ability of many governments in the region to provide justice, security and development remains an elusive aspiration for large segments of the population. According to the World Justice Project report, in 18 out of 23 LAC countries, the majority of people believe top executive branch officials are working to weaken, influence or disobey the judiciary. In low and lower-middle income countries in LAC, unmet criminal justice needs and insufficient legal protection largely define the rule of law environment. Crimes often remain unreported, especially when victims work in the informal economy or lack legal identity, land or housing tenure. Unmet justice needs hinder both human and economic development. Over 40 percent of those surveyed by the World Justice Project reported that lack of access to justice had negative effects on their life: they lost income, had health issues and the costs for seeking redress increased. While only nine percent of the world population live in LAC, 33 percent of all homicides happen in this region. Social mobility is weak and economic growth is volatile. As technology is evolving, new risks emerge. LAC has faced high levels of disinformation and hate speech. There are growing needs to protect human rights in the digital realm, transform response patterns to protest movements and strengthen civic space. At the same time, certain progress in achieving gender justice was observed. The Dominican Republic, for example, is the only country in the world to have received the gold badge in implementing the Gender Equality Seal. In this context, UNDP consolidated a report on rule of law for LAC in spanish and english version.
