SUMMARY:Democracy in crisis: what is the role of access to justice?
DESCRIPTION:In recent decades\, democracies around the world have faced p
 olitical polarisation and disinformation to growing inequality and erosi
 on of public trust in institutions. At the centre of these crises lies a
  fundamental question: how can democracy truly thrive without equitable 
 access to justice? This panel explores the pivotal role of access to jus
 tice in safeguarding democratic values and institutions. It will also an
 alyse into how limited access to legal resources\, barriers to fair repr
 esentation\, and inadequate protections for human rights contribute to d
 emocratic decline. Experts will discuss the intersection between justice
  and democracy\, focusing on the ways in which an inclusive and accessib
 le legal system is essential for holding governments accountable\, prote
 cting civil liberties\, and ensuring equal participation for all citizen
 s. Join our legal experts as they discuss how access to justice can help
  to stop the current democratic crisis.\n
