Persons and groups in vulnerable situations Sample Clauses

Persons and groups in vulnerable situations. Special attention is given to persons or groups in vulnerable situations, defined as those persons or groups that face particular difficulties in fully exercising access rights because of circumstances or conditions identified within each party’s national context and in accordance with its international obligations.
