  • independence of judges and lawyers
Comments and advice regarding a set of proposals put forward by the Minister of Justice, which, if enacted without significant alteration, I believe would seriously undermine the independence of courts in Israel, including the Supreme Court. The proposals include measures that could harm the independence of legal advisers charged with guiding government ministries. Recalling that one of the main purposes of an independent judiciary is to protect human rights and check power that would endanger such rights, I have various comments regarding the compatibility of these legislative proposals with the international human rights law obligations binding on Israel.
