"European Lawyers in Lesvos - ELIL" has been present in Greece since 2016, aiming to provide legal assistance to applicants of international protection. The NGO is registered in Greece and in Germany and was founded in 2016 by the Counsil of Bars and Law Societies of Europe (CCBE) and the German Bar Association ( DAV ) and is now also supported by the French Bar Association ( CNB ). ELIL was inspired by belief in the fundamental importance of upholding the rule of law and ensuring meaningful access to legal assistance.
