Qualitative Info

E.g. the Documentation and Advisory Centre on Racial Discrimination (Dokumentations- og rådgivningscenteret om racediskrimination) has helped a number of victims bringing a claim before the courts. NGOs do not, however, have locus standi in the court procedure, and it is not possible for the organisations to appear amicus curiae before the national courts.
