Request to be considered as a Partner in the Global Alliance to Eliminate Lead Paint: American Bar Association Rule of Law Initiative

It outlines the organization’s mandate to promote justice, economic opportunity, and human dignity through rule of law programming, and states its endorsement of the Alliance’s goals. The document references a resolution adopted in August 2017 urging governments to phase out lead paint, support international cooperation, and encourage legal professionals to assist through advocacy and pro bono work. It describes the Initiative’s proposed contributions, including technical legal assistance, policy support, coordination with partners, and in-kind legal services, and clarifies that the request is nonbinding.
