In 2012 the Global Focal Point for Police, Justice and Corrections Areas in the Rule of Law and Other Crisis Situations (GFP) was established by the UN Secretary-General. The main rationale behind the GFP’s creation was to improve the UN’s delivery of police, justice and corrections services in more consistent ways where policy, expertise and funding could be better utilized.
