BIC Programme for Excellence Resources

The IBA Bar Issues Commission Programme for Excellence is a pilot-project initiative designed specifically for IBA member bar organisations. It utilises IBA legal instruments and resources that offer a medium for the IBA to collaborate with member bar organisations to empower and strengthen their leadership and membership and enhance effectiveness in global legal services, the justice system and the rule of law. It is led by the IBA Legal Policy & Research Unit (LPRU) and is based on a key principle: “Not to advise and be content, but to devise and implement”.

For further details contact Anurag Bana, Senior Legal Advisor, IBA LPRU at anurag.bana@int-bar.org. Please find below a library of resources for IBA member organisations.
