Some 60 advocates and public defenders took part in a training course
on advocacy skills and human rights that ended in Yerevan today.
Organized by the OSCE Office in Yerevan, the Armenian Chamber of
Advocates and the Council of Europe, the two-day event focused on the
concept and the application of articles 5 (the right to liberty and
security) and 6 (the right to a fair trial) of the European Convention
of Human Rights.
"Effective protection of human rights in court depends on the
professional preparedness of the defense lawyers," said Silvia Pogolsa,
Human Rights Officer at the OSCE Office.
"This is particularly important due to the recently held qualification
examination, designed to enlarge the number of licensed advocates in
Armenia. We hope this training course will equip advocates and public
defenders with the necessary knowledge to be able to effectively
apply provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights in their
daily work."
