New project publication – Manual on human rights approach in legislative development

The PLAC III project has published a new publication – the Manual on human rights approach in legislative development (planning, drafting and implementation of the laws). The publication was created within the so-called horizontal activity of the project, which covers all negotiating chapters, and in close cooperation with the Ministry of European Integration as the main beneficiary institution. The author of the Manual is Dragan Golubović.

The Manual is the first publication of its kind not only in Serbia, but also in the region of the Western Balkans. The publication explains the guiding principles in the application of the concept of human rights, and cites numerous examples from case law relating to the rights guaranteed by the European Convention on Human Rights and the EU Charter of Human Rights. The publication presents recent case law, as well as a new framework for legislative development at the European Union level.

The publication is intended primarily for civil servants, as an additional tool in the application of the new legal framework for planning, drafting and implementation of laws, but also for academia, judges, lawyers, human rights defenders and civil society.
