Although Mongolia is not an official partner country of IRZ, an important reform project has been underway here since May 2025 in coordination with the Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection.

Together with the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE), IRZ is sending a strong signal for greater rule of law and an independent judiciary in Mongolia with the twinning project ‘Effective Implementation of Justice Reforms in Mongolia’. The project, which will run until the end of 2026 with a budget of EUR 1.5 million, supports the Supreme Court in making processes more efficient, strengthening institutional structures and making the judiciary more transparent to the public.

IRZ is doing pioneering work here: this is the first EU twinning project to be implemented in Mongolia. From the EU's perspective, the project is therefore a milestone for closer cooperation with Mongolia, particularly in the field of justice. The launch event in Ulaanbaatar in July 2025 attracted considerable media attention – a clear sign of growing public interest in judicial reforms in the country.
