Strengthening the judiciary – in cooperation with Coalition All for Fair Trials

The overall aim of our cooperation with the Coalition for All Fair Trials is to strengthen the independency, efficiency and impartiality of the judiciary in Macedonia.

The Coalition will measure whether there is an improvement in the implementation of the existing laws and how efficient the legal procedure in the judiciary is. The results will be published in an analytical report and discussed at workshops that will lead to increased knowledge amongst the professional public.

Civil Rights Defenders will contribute with advocacy work, certain expertise in judicial efficiency, in the preparation of workshops, and in liaising and coordinating with government and other actors.

The Coalition “All for Fair Trials” was established in 2003 and represents a network of 16 NGOs, with the purpose to focus on international standards of fair trial.
