For justice and freedom
The Federal Ministry of Justice is digitalising and strengthening the justice system and the rule of law. We are working to modernise our country – and we are dedicated to fighting bureaucracy. We are bringing the law into line with today’s social reality and strengthening citizens' rights. We are working on a modern and pragmatic approach to migration policy. And we are committed to working with other countries to promote the international prosecution of war crimes – especially in Ukraine.
