Fiji is set to host the Commonwealth Law Ministers Meeting (CLMM) from February 9 to 12, 2026. This significant event will gather law ministers and attorneys general from the Commonwealth’s 56 member nations to enhance legal collaboration and promote justice accessibility.
Under the theme “Anchoring Justice in a Changing Tide: Strengthening the Rule of Law for a Resilient Future,” the meeting will be organized by the Republic of Fiji, with oversight from the Office of the Attorney General. The CLMM is recognized as one of the most prominent international assemblies focused on legal cooperation, serving as a vital forum for ministers to assess advancements in access to justice and to identify actionable solutions to overcome barriers preventing individuals from addressing their legal needs.
A recent statement from The Commonwealth emphasized that discussions during the meeting will cover pivotal topics such as the integration of technology in justice delivery, model contracts for natural resource governance, effective legal reform tools, and enhanced protections for fundamental rights. The outcomes of this meeting are anticipated to influence the Commonwealth Secretariat’s initiatives under the Declaration on Access to Justice and help define the agenda for the upcoming 2026 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) set to take place in Antigua and Barbuda.
This assembly not only highlights Fiji’s role in fostering legal development among Commonwealth nations but also underscores the collective commitment to upholding the rule of law and improving justice systems worldwide. The expected outcomes could pave the way for significant reform, ultimately creating a more just and equitable society for all.
