The Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo hired a team of experts to facilitate the development of a national plan of action to reform the justice system within the country. It was achieved through a participative process in which a large range of justice actors, international and local stakeholders were involved. The four pillars of the national policy are:

1. Guaranteeing access to the law and quality justice for all 

2. Guaranteeing the independence of the judiciary 

3. Ensuring the performance of the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights

4. Ensuring justice based on respect for human dignity
