The eighth meeting of the Task Force on Access to Justice will take place from 15 June 2015 (afternoon) to 17 June 2015 (morning) in Geneva (Palais des Nations, Salle V). The meeting will be held back to back to the nineteenth meeting of the Working Group of the Parties to be held on from 17 June 2015 (afternoon) to 19 June 2015 (morning).

The meeting of the Task Force will be focussed on the substantive issues such as the scope of the review, costs and remedies.

Delegates will also deliberate on quantitative data provided in 2014 national implementation reports in relation to the practical application of the provisions of article 9 of the Convention and learn from several relevant initiatives. Furthermore, delegates will be invited to share their experience on a multi-stakeholders dialogue for removing barriers on access to justice.

The meeting will be preceded by a special session for judges dedicated to the promotion of judicial networking in the Pan-European region, which will take place in the morning of 15 June 2015.
