In recent years, China, Cambodia and Vietnam
have demonstrated their
commitment to improving their legal systems by signing international
conventions and implementing domestic laws to safeguard citizen
rights.
Unfortunately, many of the new laws remain not enforced due to a
lack
of resources, trained lawyers and awareness. Karen Tse will chart
the vital
work of International Bridges to Justice (IBJ), an NGO committed
to ensuring
the basic rights of ordinary citizens to have competent legal representation
and a fair trial. Karen Tse is the Founder and President of International
Bridges to Justice.
The Founder and President of International Bridges to Justice, Karen
Tse
is a graduate of UCLA law school and a specialist human rights lawyer.
It was whilst working in Cambodia in the mid ‘90s for the
Defenders Project
and the UN’s Centre for Human Rights Judicial Mentor programme
that she
conceived the idea for IBJ, which was launched in 2000.
