| Short Answer |
The National Council for Combating Discrimination offers legal support but it does not assist or represent alleged victims of discrimination in court or other administrative procedures. |
| Qualitative Info |
There are no special provisions about legal aid or other type of support for alleged victims of discrimination during administrative or court proceedings. The National Council for Combating Discrimination has within its mandate the obligation to provide specialized support to alleged victims. Consequently, it offers legal support (information about rights and procedures) via e-mail, telephone or at its headquarters. In 2010, the NCCD reports providing specialized assistance to 2,500 persons. Source:
