About INL

The mission of the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) is to minimize the impact of international crime and illegal drugs through providing effective foreign assistance and through fostering global cooperation. In South Sudan, INL’s programming is focused on building the capacity of the justice system at all levels to ensure that police, judicial officials, and corrections officials have the skills and tools they need to provide efficient and impartial justice to the citizens of the world’s newest nation, while at the same time working with civil society and other groups to ensure that citizens are aware of their rights and able to access the justice system.
