Authorities at the Ministry of Justice have secured a major international partnership that positions the country at the forefront of global peace-building innovation.
On Thursday, March 19, 2026, Justice Minister N. Oswald Tweh, hosted a high-level delegation from the G7+ Secretariat at its headquarters in Mamba Point, Monrovia.
The engagement signals growing international confidence in Liberia’s justice sector, and reinforces the Ministry’s proactive leadership in driving reforms that strengthen governance, uphold the rule of law and advance peace-building efforts across fragile and conflict-affected regions.
At the center of the discussions was a transformative proposal; the establishment of a rapid response centre; an innovative initiative designed to provide timely, expert support to countries facing urgent legal, governance, and institutional challenges.
The Centre, once operational, is expected to become a cornerstone of regional stability and a symbol of emergence as a hub for peace-building excellence.
Minister Tweh underscored the Ministry’s unwavering commitment to building a responsive, efficient, and globally respected justice system.
He described the proposed rapid response centre as a “landmark achievement” that aligns with national development priorities, and its broader vision for peace and democratic governance.
“This initiative represents a defining moment for Liberia. It demonstrates the confidence that our international partners have in our institutions and reaffirms our readiness to lead in delivering practical solutions to complex governance challenges,” Tweh said.
He highlighted that the Ministry has, in recent years, intensified efforts to modernize legal framework, strengthen prosecutorial systems, and improve access to justice.
The proposed centre, will complement the reforms by introducing rapid, specialized interventions in times of crisis both in Liberia and across G7+ member states.
