UNION OF
JURISTS IN BULGARIA
-
-
- The Union of Bulgarian Jurists (UBJ) was established in 1966 as
a voluntary, independent, public and creative organization, uniting
persons of higher law education. It is a legal successor of the
Bulgarian Jurists' House Cooperative Society founded in
1925.
-
- The Union of Bulgarian Jurists is the largest juristical NGO,
with a membership of 1500 member jurists from all legal professions
unified in 30 societies within the country.
-
- In its activities the Union is governed by the democratic
principles of guaranteeing and safeguarding citizens' rights and
freedoms as per the Constitution and the International Agreements,
guided by the task of making Bulgaria a democratic and
constitutional state.
-
- The UBJ protects the jurists' rights, helps improve their
qualification and satisfy their professional, cultural and material
needs. It promotes the people's law culture. In achieving its
tasks, the UBJ explores the effectiveness of the laws in force and
cooperates with other jurists' organizations, specialized state
bodies, scientific institutes and public organizations and
participates in international meetings related to its
activity.
-
- The UBJ issues two publications "Obshtestvo I pravo" and
"Pravna tribuna" in order to popularize actual legal facts and to
provide internal information of its members.
-
- The UBJ is a member of a number of international organizations.
Its major international activity is related to two of them - the
International Association of Democratic Lawyers (IADL) and the
European Lawyers' Association for Democracy and Human Rights
(EALDH).
-
- In 1993 it was one of the co-founders of the EALDH as a
democratic confederation of diverse national associations of
democratic lawyers.
-
- The Union has been a member of the IADL since its establishment
in 1966. Ever since the UBJ has played an active role in the
activities of the association and its representatives are member of
the International Bureau. As a result of this long standing
collaboration was organized the International Conference "Embargo
and International Law. Contemporary problems", held in Sofia in
2001.
