Equal Access to Justice
UNDP, through the application of the human rights based approach to development, seeks to strengthen the capacities of vulnerable groups to claim and exercise their legal rights. It simultaneously improves the professional strengths of those in the justice sector providing services leading to the protection of these rights. The integrated approach targets women, children, the poor, minorities, and those living in underdeveloped areas of the country, as well as the services provided to them by all actors in the justice sector. This includes normative protection (laws, statutes, regulations) implementation and enforcement (judiciary, police, prisons), and empowerment (lawyers, human rights commission, civil society groups, law teaching institutions).
