Beschreibung
The book provides an extensive overview of
objectives
and current implementation of Goal 16 of the Sustainable
Development Goals in Latin America and Europe. Based on
discussions at the GIZ-EIUC conference in Venice of May
2017, the book offers new insights into specifically Goal
16.3 from a Latin American and European perspective. Current
challenges to access to justice before the European and the
Inter-American Courts of Human Rights as well as common and
different challenges to the European and Inter-American
Human Rights systems are assessed. Based on the foundational
work of the GIZ-DIRAJus project in Latin America specific
challenges of access to justice in Mexico, Peru, Brazil, El
Salvador and Chile are comprehensively examined. The issues
identified in the book based on Latin American and European
efforts in ensuring access to justice offer guidance in what
way additional indicators for Goal 16.3 could be developed.
