The Committee members discussed organizational matters and outlined plans for the future.
One of the key decisions was to establish a permanent working group comprising representatives of leading bar associations and journalists’ associations. Its objectives are:
– to respond quickly to and prevent conflict situations;
– to conduct outreach on legal and media issues;
– to organize educational events.
The relevant proposals have already been sent to major media organizations and associations.
A separate area of focus is support for Bill No. 12320 regarding liability for equating a lawyer with a client. The Committee will continue to make every effort to ensure that this bill is adopted and enters into force.
In addition, the Committee will announce a call for new members. Official information will be posted shortly on the UNAA website. We invite all interested colleagues to join us!
