Advocaat.be supports Van Espen family's message
Advocaat.be lauds the nuanced and positive nature of the Van Espen family's letter to the Parliamentary Committee on Justice at the end of April. Advocaat.be will explain in the hearing of the Parliamentary Committee on 4 July that one of the ways we support the Van Espen family's message is through our efforts in establishing and rolling out care centres after sexual violence.
The system of pro bono lawyers is an indispensable link in people's effective access to justice and the courts.
For Advocaat.be, access to law and justice is central, for every litigant. The government must guarantee that right: article 23 of the Constitution stipulates that everyone has the right to legal assistance. The European Convention on Human Rights and European Union law confirm this.
