The problems related to the process of industrialisation such as
biodiversity depletion, climate change and a worsening of health
and living conditions, especially but not only in developing
countries, intensify. Therefore, there is an increasing need to
search for integrated solutions to make development more
sustainable. The United Nations has acknowledged the problem and
approved the "2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development". On 1st
January 2016, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the
Agenda officially came into force. These goals cover the three
dimensions of sustainable development: economic growth, social
inclusion and environmental protection. The Encyclopedia of the UN
Sustainable Development Goals comprehensively addresses the SDGs in
an integrated way. The Encyclopedia encompasses 17 volumes, each
one devoted to one of the 17 SDGs. This volume addresses SDG 16,
namely "Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable
development, provide access to justice for all and build effective,
accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels" and contains
the description of a range of terms, which allows a better
understanding and fosters knowledge. Concretely, the defined
targets are: Significantly reduce all forms of violence and related
death rates everywhere End abuse, exploitation, trafficking and all
forms of violence against and torture of children Promote the rule
of law at the national and international levels and ensure equal
access to justice for all Significantly reduce illicit financial
and arms flows, strengthen the recovery and return of stolen assets
and combat all forms of organized crime Substantially reduce
corruption and bribery in all their forms Develop effective,
accountable and transparent institutions at all levels Ensure
responsive, inclusive, participatory and representative
decisionmaking at all levels Broaden and strengthen the
participation of developing countries in the institutions of global
governance Provide legal identity for all, including birth
registration Ensure public access to information and protect
fundamental freedoms, in accordance with national legislation and
international agreements Strengthen relevant national institutions,
including through international cooperation, for building capacity
at all levels, in particular in developing countries, to prevent
violence and combat terrorism and crime Promote and enforce
non-discriminatory laws and policies for sustainable development
