State Commission for Justice
The State Commission for Justice was created in 2005 by a resolution of the Executive Power, and is made up of representatives of government entities, the private sector, and civil society organizations. The Commission institution was entrusted with the task of designing an agenda that would enable the implementation of the consensus reached through the State Pact for Justice and carrying out a follow up on this process. The foresaid consensuses aimed at making the justice system more independent, transparent and efficient. For this purpose, the Commission submitted reform proposals, many of which were not approved by the National Assembly. Although it had been established that the Commission shall meet frequently, it remained inactive for several years. Another function of the Commission is to scrutinize aspiring magistrates of the Judicial Power, for which a Special Evaluation Commission is created in 2019, through Executive Decree No. 623.
