PIC – Legal Center for the Protection of Human Rights and the Environment is a non-governmental organization, specializing in legal advocacy in the area of human rights and environmental protection in Slovenia. For over 25 years, PIC’s main objective has been to empower individuals to better utilize and advance their position in the society. We provide legal counseling, representation in proceedings, research analysis and comparative legal studies, drafting of amendments and legislation, policies and practices, holding workshops, and providing training.
Our main areas of work are protection of vulnerable groups, asylum and migration, and environmental and climate protection. Protection of vulnerable groups includes legal support of the most vulnerable including persons with disabilities, elderly, victims of domestic and gender-based violence, child protection, protection against discrimination and support to victims of crime. We provide counselling and representation, as well as legal expertise in the area of asylum and migration. We argue for the enhancement of legal protection of the environment through research, collaboration, development and dissemination. Finally, as co-founders of the Legal Network for the Protection of Democracy, we are also committed to the protection of democratic principles, the rule of law, and access to justice.
