The Department of Justice and Attorney General is the central agency responsible for the administration of legal services to the State and its instrumentalities, and the provision of law and justice services to the people. Our vision statement of ‘A Just, Safe and Secure Society’ embraces all law and justice sector functions such as policing, corrections, the judiciary and the courts, prosecutions, defending those accused of crime, land dispute resolution, the management of estates and insolvency, the training of lawyers, investigation of corruption and leadership abuses and legal advice to Government. The department is also the central coordination authority for restorative justice services. Our core functions, roles, responsibilities and strategic priorities are aligned with the Papua New Guinea Vision 2050 taking our long term direction and focus from four of the seven pillars: “Human Capital Development”, “Wealth Creation”, “Institutional Development & Service Delivery”, and “Security & International Relations”. This visionary document is supported by the PNG Development Strategic Plan 2010 – 2030 (DSP), which has already been set in motion by the Medium Term Development Plan 2011 - 2015 (MTDP1). The department is directly linked to Part 4.2 - “Law and Order”; most of Part 6 – Cross-cutting policies; and all of Part 7 – Partnership and Cooperation, of the Development Strategic Plan 2010 – 2030, acknowledging that these themes are further devolved into the Medium Term Development Plan 2011 - 2015.
