The event, co-organised by Poland's justice ministry, will focus on reversing the global decline in the rule of law and countering the rise of authoritarianism, according to an announcement.

The rule-of-law "ecosystem" includes judiciaries, human rights and anti-corruption bodies, supreme audit institutions, election commissions, independent media and civil society watchdogs, organisers said.

The forum, which opens on Monday and runs through Thursday, will bring together a wide range of participants—including private sector leaders and young activists—to share experiences, identify common goals and develop new strategies for oversight and action.

Key topics include the impact of technology and the pursuit of environmental justice, which officials say are essential to ensuring accountable governance in today's world.
