Throughout the world, poverty runs rampant. The gap between the rich and the poor grows. People lack access to the health services and medicines they need to survive. Children grow up without basic nutrition or education. The environment deteriorates, threatening the way of life for entire societies.

In the face of these staggering problems, building a stronger democracy can seem like a distant goal. But if law remains society's tool for changing the behaviors that create these problems, then effective lawmaking is not a luxury.

It is a most urgent priority.

Effective laws constrain corruption and hold government accountable. They improve lives and protect human rights. They promote long-term stability, growth, and socio-economic justice. Investing resources in making better laws means striking at the root of social problems, rather than endlessly hacking at the branches.
