PUBLISHED: JULY 9, 2006
From July 2 – 5, 2006, ICNL held a conference on Strengthening Civil Society in the Arab Region: Models for Legal Reform.

Conference participants attended interactive sessions and panels devoted to a variety of topics specific to the needs of Arab civil society organizations, including how to strengthen civil society in the Arab world, establish political will for legal reform, enhance civil society participation in government decision-making, and build on existing law reform initiatives in the Middle East.
