Amsterdam Law Center is a platform dedicated to upholding the rule of law, human rights, and fundamental freedoms. We primarily focus on legal professionals from Turkey, providing support to individuals facing legal issues, guiding them through judicial processes, and facilitating integration between communities.
We believe that a fair legal system should be accessible to everyone, and we carry out activities at both national and international levels. We document human rights violations and raise public awareness, organize campaigns to increase awareness, and assist individuals in defending their rights.
In addition to legal support, we actively work to protect and promote fundamental rights and freedoms. Guided by the principles of freedom, equality, and justice, we advocate for fundamental rights such as freedom of expression, the right to a fair trial, and protection against discrimination. We collaborate with international organizations and civil society groups to prevent human rights abuses and develop various projects.
Furthermore, we support individuals during their integration process into new societies. To foster the social, cultural, and professional integration of migrants, we provide guidance, help expand their professional networks, and develop projects that encourage social participation. We create meeting points for legal professionals from various legal systems, promote the exchange of knowledge and experience, and thus facilitate compliance with international legal norms. We assist lawyers wishing to continue their careers in Europe, support them in overcoming obstacles, and strengthen their integration through educational programs and advisory services. Additionally, we organize information sessions, career counseling, and certification process guidance for lawyers aiming to practice in a new country.
