YEREVAN, JULY 21, ARMENPRESS. Cooperation between the Armenian Justice Ministry, the EU and the UNDP has rather long and productive history. Within the framework of the partnership, Armenia is basically covering the main direction of reforms in the justice sector, achieving very tangible results which are already visible in the justice system, the Deputy Minister of Justice Karen Karapetyan on Friday said during an event dedicated to the launch of the e-platform of the 2022-2026 Strategy and Action Plan of Judicial and Legislative Reforms.

“Judicial and legislative reforms are among the priorities of the Armenian government,” Karapetyan said.

He said that the results of any reform should be visible to the citizens, the direct beneficiaries of the reforms.

“The platform not only has a main function of public awareness, but also enables all stakeholders to include their reports and performance reports directly, swiftly, productively and with modern mechanisms to both government agencies and the society,” he added, thanking international partners for support and cooperation.

The platform was developed as part of the “Accountable Institutions and Human Rights Protection in Armenia” project, funded by the European Union (EU) and implemented jointly by UNDP, UNFPA, and the OSCE.
