Introduction:
Empowerment
Through Law of the Common People (ELCOP) is a voluntary, non profitable, non
political, non- governmental human rights education, research and training
organization dedicated to the common people of Bangladesh. ELCOP is
embracing communities for democracy, justice and empowerment through action and
participation.
Objectives:
ELCOP aims at achieving the
following objectives:
► Provide people with
specific legal information, making them conscious of their rights and duties;
► Improve understanding of
basic norms and values underlying democracy in the society;
► Foster justice,
tolerance, fairness and transparency in the society;
► Contribute effectively in
bringing up the marginalized sections of our society and to their empowerment;
► Involve the students and
the teachers of law in promoting legal awareness in order to impact the process of
institutionalization of democracy.
The dominant feature of
ELCOP is that it is administered and managed by the law students and teachers
of different universities of Bangladesh. It also
involves those legal experts in its activities who are concerned, have
commitment and are competent enough to deal with human rights and empowerment
issues.
