PEACE, JUSTICE AND STRONG INSTITUTIONS​

​

Conflict, insecurity, weak institutions and limited access to justice remain a great threat to sustainable development. 

​

The number of people fleeing war, persecution and conflict exceeded 70 million in 2018, the highest level recorded by the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) in almost 70 years. 

​

In 2019, the United Nations tracked 357 killings and 30 enforced disappearances of human rights defenders, journalists and trade unionists in 47 countries.
