VFI’s LINK Resource Center hosted a brainstorming workshop on the role of civil society organizations and the mass
media in relation to the Lao Legal Sector Master Plan (LSMP) through 2020, organized by the Legal Sector Coordination
on June 29, 2011, with 20 delegates from civil society organizations (VFI, CIDSE, JVC, GDG, HELVETAS, PADETC,
UNICEF, UNDP, UNWOMEN, LSMP, CARE, LaoLINK), Lao Bar Association, Radio Program 103.7, and members of
the mass media.
The workshop reviewed present laws and projected trends of laws and justice in the Lao PDR in specific sectors (specifically laws governing civil society and the mass media). The brainstorming session addressed 1) The mass media’s roles towards laws and justice in the Lao PDR; and 2) coordination mechanisms among lawyers, CSOs and mass media, including a discussion of the gaps, limitations, possibilities, opportunities and challenges.
This workshop enhanced cooperation between the participants consistent with LSMP to 2020, and promoted good
understanding towards future roles of each concerned organization. |
