We work to make legal instruments more effective in protecting
human rights, public interests and important common values.

Access to legal assistance

A modern state governed by the rule of law needs to secure access to justice to everyone, regardless of their income, property, social or other status. "The right to a lawyer" is part of the principle of equal treatment and the right to a fair trial.
