This issue of Attacks on Justice covers the period between 1 June 1991 and 31 May 1992. The report, now in its fourth year, is issued annually by the ICJ’s Centre for the Independence of Judges and Lawyers and documents cases of harassment and persecution of jurists throughout the world.
The ICJ today expressed concern to the Government of India about the arrest of a former Judge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, Ajit Singh Bains, on 3 April.
Deux principes fondamentaux des Nations Unies, l’un sur l’indépendance de la magistrature adopté en 1985, l’autre sur le rôle des avocats adopté en 1991, définissent explicitement les normes internationales relatives à l’indépendance du pouvoir judiciaire et de la profession juridique.
Bien que ces normes soient clairement reconnues au niveau international, leur mise en oeuvre au niveau national demeure une source de préoccupation.
Le principal défi auquel sont confrontés les juristes autour du monde consiste maintenant à traduire ces normes en des garanties adéquates qui se reflèteraient dans les réalités du quotidien.
