FIDA has the privilege and the right to attend meetings of the ECOSOC and some of its functional and special commissions; we participate in their work by making our position known on various subjects through oral interventions and written statements made at those meetings.
These conventions give us the opportunity to become personally acquainted with members from different regions and cultures, make a comparative study of some particular phase of the law, write papers, and after debate, come to consensus conclusions, embodied in resolutions.
With the purpose to keep open lines of communication with our members and to keep them informed about our work and results, we publish The Abogada Newsletter, the convention review La Abogada Internacional and papers prepared by individual members or committees which are read at various events of the Federation.
