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 Law on Administrative Proceedings. You may also apply to Commission for Administrative Disputes and its local branches.
This is also the case when the organisator of volunteering activities is a public institution. You may contest its acts or actual conduct in administrative proceedings as well.
For private organizations (for example, non-governmental organisations) you can complain by bringing a civil claim in accordance to the Code of Civil Procedure.
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 Lithuanian 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.
