Minister Kaag presenteert slotverklaring van Access to Justice-conferentie: meer recht, voor meer mensen
In het Vredespaleis in Den Haag zijn van woensdag 6 tot en met vrijdag 8 februari 30 landen bijeen om te praten over een betere toegang tot het recht. Wereldwijd hebben 1,5 miljard mensen problemen om hun recht te halen. Daarbij spelen bijvoorbeeld kwesties over erfrecht of ruzie met buren over grond. Of het gaat om arbeidsconflicten of geldkwesties. Vaak staan ook gebrekkige overheidsdiensten, geweld en criminaliteit een eerlijke rechtsgang in de weg, en blijven veel mensenrechtenschendingen ongestraft.
De conferentie gaat vooral over het mensgerichter, makkelijker en moderner maken van toegang tot recht. Denk aan juridische voorlichters uit gemeenschappen, digitale vouchers voor juridisch advies en toepassing van data-technologie. Maar ook aan mediation of traditioneel-inheemse vormen van geschillenbeslechting.
Op uitnodiging van Nederland, Sierra Leone, Argentinië en The Elders bespreken circa 15 buitenlandse ministers, 15 andere hooggeplaatste vertegenwoordigers van landen en internationale organisaties, en 150 experts allerlei manieren om toegang tot het recht voor meer mensen mogelijk te maken. Politici en beleidmakers, NGO's en activisten, onderzoekers en wetenschappers zoeken naar creatieve oplossingen.
De conferentie in Den Haag is onderdeel van een project van de internationale ‘Task Force on Justice'. Minister Kaag (Buitenlandse Handel en Ontwikkelingssamenwerking) is daar co-voorzitter van.
Toegang tot het recht en een eerlijke rechtsgang zijn belangrijke voorwaarden voor het bereiken van de SDG's, de duurzame ontwikkelingsdoelen waar het beleid van minister Kaag op gericht is.

This was the best I could do without trespassing and was taken outside the gates of this place, which was formally the Depot of GO Bus & Coach before they relocated to Swanley, but is now a HGV/PCV repairs and servicing workshop, and this was 1 of at least 9 Buses and Coaches that appeared to be being worked on here.
here at the wonderful space needle in seattle... there is no wheelchair access to the outer observation deck. when are they going to do something about that?!
The Vincent Thomas Bridge's blue lights span the Port of Los Angeles here in southern California's San Pedro. The water fountains, accompanied by music, are at the LA Cruise ship terminal www.portoflosangeles.org/recreation/fountain.asp ; they are a beautiful sight, that millions have seen. I'm up on a bluff of a residential neighborhood. A bunch of the local homeboys were having a birthday party, and thankfully allowed me access to their backyard. I had to follow a culvert to get this rare view.
Beyond Access Member teams representing twelve countries in Asia and Europe gathered in Indonesia to share their successes, challenges, and visions about the role of modern libraries in their communities. Participants came from vastly different countries in terms of culture, level of development, and political environment. Yet they shared many of the same challenges, and more importantly, they shared a commitment to the role libraries play in their communities.

Throughout Africa, public libraries are promoting social and economic development in their communities through financial literacy workshops, ICT training for women, health classes, programs for children, and more.
Representatives from some of those libraries — from nine countries throughout Africa and Europe — came to the Beyond Access event in Cape Town, South Africa to build partnerships and exchange ideas on how libraries can drive development.
Metal Access cover in a Suffolk, Virginia sidewalk manufactured by the Benthall Machine Company in Suffolk, Virginia. In 1905 Jesse Thomas Benthall and Finton Finley Ferguson patented the first successful commercial peanut threshing machine. In 1906 Benthall opened the Benthall Machine Company in Suffolk to mass produce his new machine. They branched out into making other types of agricultural machinery, equipment, and supplies...and clearly access covers.
Interesting Access Barrier design at the Waverley Township. You do have to get off your bike to get through but it looks like it would accomodate more different types of cycle than the standard 'A' Frame
Shenango Lake partners completed a project to provide another access point to the river for paddle sport enthusiasts and anglers.
The Shenango River Watchers recently rebuilt the New Hamburg Canoe Launch Roadway. It is located between the Kidds Mill Park and Big Bend Access Area, providing midway access between the 7.5 mile river span. The project opened a little-used, old access road that had fallen into disrepair. The project was designed so people would be able to drive their vehicles and boat trailers directly up to the launch area, unload, turn around, and park in a nearby lot. There are now three access points on Corps property which are part of the Shenango River Water Trail which stretches from Pymatuning State Park to Shenango Lake.
In past years, visitors could be seen walking down the shoulder of the highway carrying all sorts of canoes, kayaks, and associated equipment. They would reach the river by using the unimproved pathways.
The Shenango River Watchers leased the access area from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers last year and worked heartily toward obtaining several sizeable grants that funded the project.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Pittsburgh District and Penn-DOT were involved with planning and implementation. Once the area was leased, the River Watchers were able to complete the project at a time when Shenango Lake experienced several fiscal constraints.
The Shenango River Watchers have scheduled the Upper Shenango River Sojourn for June 27 – 29. Check out their website at shenangoriverwatchers.org for other fun events throughout the summer.
Monetary contributors included the Jamestown VFW, the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, the Mercer County Visitors Bureau, Mercer County Commissioners, and the Shenango River Watchers. (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers photo by

Not a glamorous photo, just one of the bride supports covered with 'artwork'. Took it partly to test the lens, but also to show how the industrious graffiti artists cut into an access panel then locked it off from less industrious 'artists' with a bike lock.
A combination of my bridge project with the studio 26 assignment of deep depth of field and testing out a borrowed 16-35 f4 lens. 16mm, f9, ISO 250, 1/80 sec exposure, focus on the graffiti. Everything not overexposed is in focus.
