Access to justice for people living in poverty 2012, para. 11
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- Thus, States have an obligation to construct a legal and institutional framework which facilitates access to independent and effective judicial and adjudicatory mechanisms and ensures a fair outcome for those seeking redress, without discrimination of any kind. However, guaranteeing de jure access to judicial and adjudicatory mechanisms is not sufficient to ensure that all individuals have de facto access to justice. States must also take positive measures to ensure laws and policies are substantively non-discriminatory, including measures to eliminate conditions which cause or help to perpetuate discrimination. In many instances, laws, policies and procedures may indirectly discriminate against, or have a disproportionate impact upon, persons living in poverty. In addition, various extralegal factors also limit or obstruct their de facto access to justice.
