In 2023, RWI engaged in activities contributing to the enhancement of knowledge and capacities of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia in the field of human rights. These contributions were designed and implemented in cooperation with United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in Armenia within the scope of UNDP-led project “Modern Parliament for a Modern Armenia”.
In 2024, RWI extended its cooperation within the second phase of the UNDP project, entitled, “Fostering Responsiveness, Effectiveness, Transparency and Inclusiveness of Armenian Parliament (FORSETI)” to further integrate human rights perspectives in the work of the parliamentarians. A key activity is the development of a Pre-Legislative Screening Tool, to ensure that all proposed laws comply with human rights norms before being passed. This tool will enable the Standing Committee on Human Rights to assess the human rights implications of draft laws, considering both compatibility with international and national human rights law and standards.
