Court Efficiency and Access to Justice
Access to justice is not just a fundamental right in itself; it is also an essential prerequisite for the protection and promotion of all other civil, political, cultural, economic and social rights. Access to the courts promotes stability and political liberalization, allowing all segments of the population the opportunity to seek redress under the law. This is especially important for vulnerable groups that rely on the justice system to protect and enforce their rights.
