The institutional capacity building works under the Technical Assistance for Strengthening Fundamental Rights Sector Coordination Project started with the Fundamental Rights Training from the Perspective of the EU and Accession.

During the training held in Ankara on 28-29 September, the representatives of our public institutions were informed of the structure of the EU, its functioning, sources of law as well as the place, development and functions of fundamental rights in the EU. Moreover, the participants discussed the main issues related to the Copenhagen Political Criteria and the Judiciary and Fundamental Rights Chapter (Chapter 23). The training was given by Prof. Dr. Sanem Baykal, the Project’s Capacity Building Key Expert.
