Welcome

OVERVIEW

       COIL operates the Open World program in 25 countries across Eurasia and the Indo-Pacific, fostering mutual understanding and facilitating the exchange of best practices between Americans and their global counterparts. Mongolia has been an active participant in this initiative, with 213 professionals— including judges, prosecutors, members of parliament, parliamentary staffers, local legislators, and civil society members—taking part over the past 12 years. These programs have played a vital role in strengthening bilateral ties by providing Mongolian leaders with a unique platform to engage with their American counterparts, deepening their understanding of democratic principles and governance. Beyond enhancing legislative and judicial systems, these exchanges have also contributed to the enrichment of cultural and professional landscapes in both nations.

      We are proud to host the first COIL judicial alumni conference in Ulaanbaatar—the largest regional gathering of Rule of law and judiciary alumni from Mongolia, Armenia, Estonia, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Moldova, Serbia, Uzbekistan, and U.S. judges to discuss Judicial Independence and Court Digitalization.
