You are entitled and encouraged to complain if you believe that you have been unlawfully restricted from participating in volunteering activities.
Administrative and civil proceedings
If you believe your rights as a volunteer are being violated, for example, if you are being forced into labour or if your health or safety is being put under risk, you may complain to the State Labour Inspectorate. Any decision or actual conduct of the State Labour Inspectorate is contestable to the director of the Inspectorate. A decision or actual conduct of the director may be appealed in an administrative court in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Law. You may also pursue your claim against the organiser of the volunteer service in a civil court in accordance with the Civil Procedure Law: for example, if you wish to claim compensation for harm suffered in the course of voluntary work.
Constitutional Court
If your rights as a volunteer are restricted by law and you believe this is in violation of your human rights, you may also complain to the Constitutional Court. The Constitutional Court may accordingly declare the legal regulation restricting your right to assembly as being incompatible with the Constitution.
Complaints to international human rights bodies
If you believe that the violation of your rights has not been remedied by Latvian institutions or courts, you can submit a complaint to international or European institutions, such as the European Court of Human Rights or the UN Human Rights Committee.
