Whether it is caused by wars, regimes in crisis or natural disasters, institutional instability should be addressed by the prompt implementation of programs aimed at enhancing democratic governance and Rule of law. Judicial training is obviously an essential issue even though this requirement is rendered difficult by the fact that affected national authorities are in these situations totally or relatively unable to satisfy needs without international support whether bilateral or multilateral.
The following topics, amongst others, will be addressed : Which principles or standards should guide the implementation of judicial training undertaken in a crisis or post-crisis context (where, how, when and with which funds ? ...)? Should priorities be set, and if so which and set by whom? How can sustainability be achieved (is training of trainers enough...) ? Preparation of foreign trainers/experts in local issues (cultural particularities, safety problems, etc.)
