Asistenţa juridică garantată de stat ca instrument de realizare a dreptului la un proces echitabil [Articol]

Abstract

The right to a fair trial is enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of Moldova and guaranteed by international acts by virtue of which the state is obliged to ensure the unrestricted exercise of this right to every person. One of the many ways to ensure fundamental human rights and especially the right to a fair trial is state-guaranteed legal aid. The mission of the state-guaranteed legal aid system is to protect the right to a fair trial by organizing and providing state-guaranteed legal aid in order to reduce the economic and financial impediments in achieving access to justice, ensuring free and equal access to effective legal aid within an efficient, accessible and nondiscriminatory legal aid system for all people.
