Right to a Fair Trial
The right to a fair trial is one of the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution of the Republic of Latvia.

The most common probems are disproportionately long litigation processes, quality of legal aid, enforcement of judgments, access to justice for people with disabilities.
