Graduates Contributed To The Handbook On The Violation Of The Right To Liberty Of Detained Persons
Participants of the first hundred Julia Chervatyuk and Olga Semenyuk joined the development of an interactive handbook for detained persons. The document is based on Article 5 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. Thus, the handbook introduces detainees to their rights and, through their understanding, helps to avoid violations and explains the detainees how to behave in situations of restriction of freedom.
The handbook was developed by joint efforts of judges and lawyers within the framework of the project of the Ukrainian Helsinki Human Rights Union “Human Rights Standards in the Practice of Lawyers and Judges”, where experts and participants of the course through the improvement of the professional level, implemented international human rights standards in the national legal system.
