Asia-Pacific Courts Conference 2010
 

 


Venue: Swissotel The Stamford, Singapore
 
 
The Asia-Pacific Courts Conference (APCC) 2010 seeks to promote awareness among judiciaries about the newly established International Framework for Court Excellence (IFCE) and to encourage the use of the IFCE as a resource to promote judicial reform and improve court performance. The IFCE which was developed in 2008 by an International Consortium for Court Excellence comprising groups and organisations from Europe, Asia, Australia and the United States, is a framework of values, concepts and tools by which courts worldwide may adopt to assess and improve the quality of justice and court administration in their jurisdictions.
