Seminar and continues to support the programme for the placing of young lawyers from developing countries in European / North American Law Firms. Human Rights The IBA has joined with other lawyer organisations in making r ep r esen t a t i ons on behalf of lawyers who have been unlawfully detailed by the Civil Authorities or harassed or impeded in their duty of representing clients. Represen- tations have been made to the au t ho r i t i es in Algeria, Chile, Colombia, Fiji, Indonesia and Singapore. In a number of cases the representations appear to have been influential in achieving the removal or relaxation of the restrictions imposed on the lawyers concerned. •
