Our work in Macedonia

Minority Representation in Legal Profession

In October 2004, the ABA published its Report on Minority Participation in the Legal Profession in Macedonia. The results revealed a very low minority participation rate; approximately six percent compared to approximately 25 percent in the general population according to the new census.

Targeted Assistance to Roma

In 2005 and 2006, the ABA implemented a USAID-funded project to provide assistance targeted to Roma communities and Roma individuals who would like to "regularize" their citizenship and become naturalized citizens of the Republic of Macedonia.

Criminal Law Reform and Anti-Human Trafficking

With support from the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), the ABA Rule of Law Initiative (ABA ROLI) successfully implemented its Macedonia Defense Bar Program from September 30, 2011 to March 30, 2015.

Implementation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR)

In April 2005, the ABA released its Targeted Analysis of the Implementation of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) in the Republic of Macedonia. The ICCPR Implementation Index analyzes a legal system's compliance with the ICCPR, a fundamental human rights instrument.

Anti-Corruption and Public Integrity

Under an award from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the ABA in Macedonia implemented an anti-corruption campaign targeting Macedonia's youth. The project included the creation of an educational cartoon aired on television stations throughout the country.
