Report on the Annual Gathering of the Group of Women Parliamentarians

Enforcement in the broader sense, where
not only law enforcement agencies
properly use the instrument of law, but
remedies that give one a sense of fairness
and justice, is essential for setting the
stage of putting the law in practice. A key
element underlying this understanding
is the consciousness of those legal
remedies that encourage the individual
to make use of and invoke the law.
