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;. 27
