Description

The world still faces unique challenges to ensure access to justice and protect human rights. Pro bono work has become a crucial tool in addressing these challenges by providing vital legal assistance to those who cannot afford it and by mobilising lawyers who can offer expertise in cases with potential widespread impact. The intersection of pro bono efforts, access to justice and human rights violation are complex and multifaceted. As such, the SPPI showcase intends to highlight this topic at our upcoming IBA Annual Conference.
