Human rights

To make the justice system an effective tool for human rights defence, the Co-ordinator offers training courses to judges, helps civil society to diagnose the system by means of trial monitoring, and supports the comprehensive reform of execution of court decisions. To enable access to justice in conflict-affected areas, the Co-ordinator supports research and provides a platform for discussion on ways to address the specific issues identified.

An important area of work is the ongoing transformation of the country’s legal education system, based on improved standards, with better external and internal evaluation and higher requirements for those who join the circle of legal professionals. To help raise the quality of education, the Co-ordinator promotes innovative approaches to the content and methodology of teaching law courses, supports academic mobility and the development of legal clinics, where students can get practical skills. It also assists in making human rights education a part of school curricula, offers relevant training courses and resources to teachers, and builds a network of human rights educators.
