Justice - Justiz - Giustizia

In this article we will present the state of facts concerning the Laws on Romanian Judiciary, the repeated and unprecedented attacks on the judges and prosecutors in 2018 and how some of the amendments of the Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure Code adopted by the Romanian Parliament contravene the Rule of Law. In a broader context this article is referring to a development which has been taking place for some years in some European countries: the constant degradation of the third state power, the dismantling of an independent and neutral judiciary, by government and legislature – thus endangering the Rule of Law.
