Work and Remit of the Department
The Department of Justice and Equality has an important and demanding role to play in the EU and other international bodies such as the Council of Europe and the United Nations. The Department’s strategies in the area of crime, law reform, asylum and immigration are influenced by initiatives and programmes arising at EU and international level. Practically every division of the Department has some involvement in those EU and other international matters that fall within the Department’s broad policy area.
