Conference “How access to justice can help reduce poverty”
The most vulnerable people in post-conflict and/or developing countries generally suffer from extreme poverty as well as human rights violations. One of the ways to help the victims of those violations and the socially and economically marginalized groups, is to ensure equal access to justice, so that they can claim their rights. Access to justice is an aspect which remains underexplored in the fight against poverty and in strengthening good governance. This is why the conference organised by Avocats Sans Frontières on 22 May offers an opportunity to contribute to the agenda of the Millennium Development Goals for the period after 2015.
