Law
The Law Program promotes legal reforms based on human rights, legal accountability, social inclusion and good governance.
The Program develops, supports and implements projects in the following priority areas: access to justice, access to information, criminal justice and human rights monitoring. It achieves its mission through advocacy, capacity building and legal policy research. In its work, the program relies on the principles of democracy, open society and rule of law.
The program's approach is to identify and capacitate individuals and organizations - legal and non-legal, state and non-state - with the aim of ensuring their long term commitment and decisive inputs into the rule of law governance. It seeks to increase the awareness and participation of communities in decisions of public interest through a series of empowering activities and maintenance of a dialogue between political and legal decision-makers and members of the communities they represent.
The Program will focus its activities on two main priority directions:
- strengthening the government capacity in developing justice policies that will increase the access to justice of the poor and reshape the criminal justice system to ensure safety and security of citizens and a fair administration of justice; and
- strengthening the civil society’s capacity in carrying out professional monitoring of human rights in the country and its ability to effectively engage in the policy making process.
