Artur Metani

The High Inspector of Justice, Artur Metani is making the annual report to the Assembly regarding the work of this institution during 2023.

Metani spoke about the problems the justice system is facing, stressing that if there are deficiencies in terms of integrity, independence or efficiency, this is not the responsibility of the magistrates alone.

Metani said that the problems require a clear address and a careful solution, in a systemic aspect and cannot be addressed only through the system of the responsibility of the magistrates, as is constantly claimed, on the role and functions of the institution of the High Inspector of Justice.

He stated that the Office of the High Inspector of Justice has played a proactive role in relation to the identification and investigation of disciplinary violations committed by magistrates.

"If the justice system faces deficiencies or problems in terms of integrity, independence or efficiency, this is not the responsibility, only of the magistrates. These problems require a clear addressing and careful solution, in a systemic aspect and cannot be addressed only through the system of the responsibility of the magistrates, as is constantly claimed, on the role and functions of the institution of the High Inspector of Justice.

I want to emphasize that from the moment of its creation, until today, the Office of the High Inspector of Justice has played a proactive role, in relation to the identification and investigation of disciplinary violations committed by magistrates. And this work model will continue in the future and always, but always respecting the principles of a regular legal process and relying on an important cornerstone of the rule of law and democracy of a country, such as the independence of the system judiciary", said Metani./ CNA
