public governance and sisterhood
This COP supports the first BRICS’ Pillar (Political and Security) which influences response to all SDGs, but specifically supports SDG 16[Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions] and 17[Partnership for the Goals].
Political systems, good governance and the rule of law are important catalysts of global stability. BRICS nations are individually governed differently through different political systems with different outcomes, important for continuous research and analysis.
The focus of this COP are matters surrounding politically systems, the laws and government, their interpretation, and impact. It also investigates how legal principles shape public policy, discourse, decisions and effect on public lives.
