- Drafting legislation and policies for short- and long-term reforms;
- strengthening the independence of the judiciary;
- addressing post-war property rights and land disputes;
- defending human rights, accessing post-war reparations and damages (including environmental damage);

- providing legal support for investments and economic development (including public-private partnerships).
