INPROL Council of Experts

INPROL Council of Experts members help to ensure that INPROL functions in a manner that is responsive to the needs of its membership and three communities of practice: general rule of law, police commanders, and stability police. Council of Experts members provide guidance by:

  • (a) Reviewing, critiquing and revising draft consolidated responses to ensure their validity and relevance to the challenges involved in promoting the rule of law in societies merging from violent internal conflict, and
  • (b) Providing guidance and oversight to ensure that INPROL responds effectively to the needs of its membership and the constellation of international organizations that INPROL members serve.
