E. Ercan: The courts support the Justice Ministry
Public Association for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (PADIHR) summed up the results of the project: "Organization of judicial protection of unregistered NGOs."
The project was implemented under the Small Grants Program of the U.S. Embassy.
According to the head of the PADIHR, Elchin Abdullah, the aim of the project was to assist NGOs in the preparation and filing claims in the courts due to the unreasonable refusal of state registration.
During the 12 months, about 120 NGOs applied for legal aid.
Currently 12 cases are pending in the Baku Administrative Economic Court, 8 cases in the Baku Court of Appeal, 15 in the Supreme Court. Eight more cases have been sent to the European Court of Human Rights; four cases will be sent to the Strasbourg Court in the coming days.
The appeals of some NGOs for registration were refused 8 -10 times by the Ministry of Justice on false pretexts. The courts are on the side of Justice.
The project will be continued with the support of the German organization "Bread for the World." -05D06-
