Promoting access to justice being one of the United Nations sustainable development goals, I was invited as an expert to participate in the legal aid workshop organized by the United Nations Development Programme and the German development agency GIZ, which brought together governments, development partners, lawyers and NGOs working on legal aid delivery in Southeast Asia. Over the last two days, we looked at the situation of legal aid and learnt more about good examples of practice of legal aid in the ASEAN region, including Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines and Vietnam.
