This report examines the requirements for the US government to develop a civilian capacity to deploy police, judges and corrections officials to peace and stability operations. The paper is the result of interviews conducted with over 20 US government agencies that would be likely contributors to the development of such a "rule of law" capability. The authors advocate the establishment of an Office for Rule of Law Operations as a new agency or organization for stability operations that unites under one umbrella other crucial civilian functions such as war crimes prosecution, humanitarian assistance, governance, media development, reconstruction and reconciliation activities.
