Project Co-ordinator’s efforts were aimed at ensuring local judges are using human rights legal instruments, such as the European Convention on Human Rights and the case-law of the European Court, to ensure better protection of human rights in Ukraine. (OSCE)
More than 7,700 legal professionals were trained in the course of the last 5 years, 400 judges got qualification of trainers and teach their colleagues. 18 online and on-site PCU-developed training courses became a part of mandatory education for judges and candidate-judges. (OSCE)
Law students from 15 countries of the OSCE region benefited from summer schools and moot courts that helped young legal professionals pursue their career in human rights protection in future. (OSCE)
Annual Forum on the Case Law of the European Court of Human Rights provided platform for legal professionals to brainstorm and discuss ways of enhancing human rights protection in Ukraine. (OSCE)
Advocates, civil society, civil servants and law professors were also an important audience to further spread knowledge on application of the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights. (OSCE)
The Co-ordinator supported civil society in implementing two first of their kind programmes - trial monitoring and monitoring of judgements - both helped identify gaps and needs for further work. (OSCE)
