"According to the World Justice Gap, the justice needs of 5 billion people around the world are unmet. These are people who cannot obtain justice for everyday problems, people who are excluded from the opportunities the law provides, and people who live in extreme conditions of injustice. At the 2nd Annual AI for Developing Countries Forum at the United Nations, this will be held at the United Nations. Governments, organizations, and individuals are called to respond by showcasing their justice initiatives and commitments to justice in response to the findings on justice situations."
