Legislative amendments have recently been made to legal regulation of the activities of non-governmental organisations, in particular, in February, 2017, the new law “On Non-Governmental Organisations” was adopted (the law is available at https://www.arlis.am/documentview.aspx?docid=110802). The Order of the Head of SRC of the RA No. 59 of 13 February of this year provides the model form of reporting on the activities of non-governmental organisations, the order of filling out, the procedure for publication of the report and submission to the SRC of the RA (hereinafter, Order). Article 24 of the RA Law “On NGOs” was also the basis for determining of the Order.
For this reason, on 10 April, at 11:30, the Armenian Lawyers’ Association organises a seminar-discussion for non-governmental organisations on the Procedure for Submission of Reports on the Activities of NGOs under the Law of the Republic of Armenia “On NGOs”. The seminar discussion will be hel at: 7 Nalbandyan Str., Suite 2, Yerevan. Representatives from corresponding state bodies will also take part in the seminar.
After completing the seminar, CSOs will have the opportunity to receive free legal advice on harmonisation of their legal documents to the existing law.
