TunisiaPalestine: EU-funded workshop organised to improve judge’s communication with the media
The value of judge’s openness to the media was the main topic of a two-day workshop in Ramallah, Palestine, this month for nearly 20 Palestinian judges from all judicial levels, ranging from the Magistrate and First instance courts to the High Court. The EU-funded EUPOL COPPS, the EU Co-ordinating Office for Palestinian Police Support, which has been supporting the Palestinian Judiciary since 2009, organised the workshop together with the Palestinian Judicial Institute with the support of the Swedish Court Administration.
During the workshop, the importance of writing well-structured judgements in a clear and understandable language was addressed by Justice Mari Anderson from the Supreme Administrative Court in Sweden. The judgement is the basic document for explaining the work of the judge. If the judgements are easily accessible and the reasoning is written in a clear and plain language, it makes it easier for both parties, media and the public, to understand the work of the judge.
The aim of EUPOL COPPS is to contribute to the establishment of sustainable and effective policing arrangements and to advise Palestinian counterparts on criminal justice and rule of law related aspects under Palestinian ownership.
