SCR's main consumers are countries engaged in multilateral activities, particularly, those that do not have the research capacity to follow the Council's work directly.These countries make frequent use of SCR’s publications and reports in shaping their positions at the UN. The target group includes UN member states, particularly developing countries, and NGOs in developing countries. Other consumers are UN Secretariat staff and UN personnel in the field. The most relevant sustainable development goal for this project is SDG 16, which refers to the promotion of “peaceful and inclusive societies” with “access to justice for all” and “effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels". Consistent, impartial and transparent data from independent research institutes increase the reliability of the measurement of the targets and enhance the legitimacy of the SDG monitoring process. Such tools also enable scholars, civil society organizations and other actors to monitor the implementation of SDG16.
