PRESS RELEASE
The development programme
for law profession, the book jointly prepared by the American Bar Association
Central Europe and Eurasia Law Initiative (ABA CEELI), United States Agency for
International Development (USAID) and Azerbaijan Young Lawyers Union (AYLU) was
presented to the NGO activists operating in Nakhchivan city on 1st and 2nd of
June.
The book primarily includes the training module on the application of the
international and domestic human rights protection methods.
The presentation of the book was followed by the training seminar, which was
held by Vugar Gojayev, project coordinator of the Norwegian-based Human Rights
House Foundation (HRH) and Gunay Imanova, assistant coordinator for the
Norwegian-based Human Rights House Foundation (HRH).
Some 16 local human rights advocates attended the gathering, where they
exchanged views and got familiar with the presented book.
According to the activists the book will help their work to be more effectual,
practicable and visible in the region, as it takes in the forms of appeals to
internal and international courts in connection with the restoration of the
infringed human rights.
In our daily work, we receive many people, who have no idea on how to appeal
to internal courts. I hope, this book and the training seminar will help us to
educate and train these people in detailed manner, says Zemfira Jabiyeva, who
is a project manager for the Association of the Protection of Women Rights
(AWPR) in Nakhchivan.
Nakhchivan, an area with its awfully poor human rights record is noted to have
the serious problems with fair court proceedings and lack of enough lawyers.
The activists and lawyers very often face various impediments in accessing to
their clients and attending the courts.
