Access to justice for people living in poverty 2012, para. 15
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- Even in the most developed countries, legal disempowerment is rife and persons living in poverty do not have full de jure or de facto access to justice. Around the world, persons living in poverty face a range of obstacles in claiming and enforcing, or contesting violations of, their rights. Such obstacles not only imply violations of their rights to a remedy and due process, but also undermine their ability to enjoy other human rights equally and without discrimination. States, therefore, are under an obligation to eliminate obstacles which frustrate the efforts of the poorest and most vulnerable to access justice. Effective enforcement of and compliance with judicial rulings in favour of persons living in poverty are also essential to ensure that persons living in poverty can benefit from the law.
