Access to Justice and Electoral Integrity
An effective remedy provides timely and sufficient restitution. It also
implies an obligation for any authority within the State to end violations of
human rights linked to political and electoral participation or representation. Therefore, a remedy for violations of human rights should be in line
with these principles:
Equal and effective access to justice
The victims of violations of political rights shall have equal access
to an effective judicial remedy as provided. This obligation implies
the state obligation to:
•
Disseminate information about all available remedies for violations
of human political rights law;
•
Take measures to minimize the inconvenience to stakeholders and
their representatives, protect against unlawful interference with
their privacy as appropriate and ensure their safety from intimidation and retaliation, as well as that of their families, witnesses and
co-workers, before, during and after judicial, administrative, or other
proceedings that affect the interests of stakeholders;
•
Provide proper assistance to stakeholders seeking access to justice;.
