Beginning in August 2009, the ABA Rule of Law Initiative (ABA ROLI) worked in Thailand to promote human rights and strengthen the provision of justice for victims of human-rights violations. With support from the U.S Department of State’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, ABA ROLI worked with local partners to: identify procedural gaps in cases involving human rights abuses and improve the monitoring of ongoing cases; educate key stakeholders on the right to seek compensation for human rights abuses; build the capacity of lawyers to better protect their clients’ human rights and utilize forensic evidence; and raise awareness about human rights principles at the local and national levels.
