About Us
The Centre for Law and Democracy is a non-profit organisation which works to promote, protect and develop those human rights which serve as the foundation for or underpin democracy. These include the rights to freedom of expression, to vote and participate in governance, to access information, and to freedom of assembly and association.
CLD works collaboratively with NGOs and other partners around the world to carry out projects aimed at boosting respect for the human rights it promotes. Our strategies include, among others, research, legal and policy analysis, law reform advocacy, capacity building, strategic litigation, and the provision of technical assistance. Please feel free to get in touch with us if you have a project which you feel might benefit from our specialised legal and policy expertise.
