Violations committed against defenders by non-State actors 2010, para. 47
Paragraphe
Paragraph text
The right to an effective remedy also implies an effective access to justice, which should be understood as not only judicial but also administrative or quasi-judicial mechanisms. Investigation and prosecution should rest on an effective and independent judiciary. Unfortunately, in many instances, weaknesses in the judicial system and flaws in the legal framework have deprived defenders of adequate tools for seeking and obtaining justice.
