Joint
Publications on Access to Justice in Central and Eastern Europe:
Source Book, Country Reports and Forum Report
Published in December 2003, these three books examine the state of legal aid
and access to justice in the Central and East European region. They are the
materials from a joint project promoting access to justice in the region, coorganised by
INTERIGHTS, the Public Interest Law
Initiative, the Bulgarian Helsinki Committee and the Polish Helsinki
Foundation for Human Rights. The goal of the project was to assess and
develop solutions to a crucial problem undermining the functioning
of the rule of law and constitutional democracy in Central and
Eastern Europe - the widespread deficiencies in the provision of
legal aid, and the negative impact this has on vulnerable groups in
society.
These
publications are all available to download electronically from the
Public Interest Law Initiative's website by clicking on the images
below.
All
three books are also available in print form, free from INTERIGHTS.
Please contact Erica Ffrench on: effrench@interights.org
for your copies.
