The Valletta Declaration outlines the establishment and objectives of the International Institute for Justice and the Rule of Law Foundation (the Institute), a domestic foundation based in Malta. The Institute is designed as an international center to strengthen criminal justice and rule of law institutions, with a specific focus on countering terrorism and transnational criminal activities through training and capacity-building, particularly for countries in North, West, and East Africa and the Middle East.

• The International Institute for Justice and the Rule of Law Foundation is established as a domestic foundation in Malta to serve as an international center for strengthening criminal justice and rule of law institutions. Its primary goal is to enable countries to provide justice, security, and liberty to citizens based on human rights and the rule of law, specifically targeting countries moving away from "repressive approaches to addressing security challenges such as terrorism and other transnational criminal activities."
• The Institute's mission focuses on a global and integrated approach to 21st-century terrorism and transnational crime, with an initial priority on enhancing the capacity of national criminal justice systems in the Middle East and North, West, and East Africa.
• The Institute is governed by a Governing Board of Administrators consisting of representatives from founding States, other invited States (including beneficiary States), and international or regional organizations. It includes an Executive Secretariat for daily operations, and may establish an Advisory Board of global experts and an annual Assembly for contributing and beneficiary States and organizations.
• The Institute relies on voluntary cash and non-cash contributions from Partners to ensure sustainability. Specific commitments include Malta providing facilities at nominal cost and local staff; the United States providing funding for development and training; and Turkey providing financial contributions and an expert. Other partners, including France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain, have committed to providing expertise or curriculum development.
