The impact of the judicial and legislative reforms programs on the independence of the RA judiciary implemented since the Independence

Hasmik Harutyunyan, the legal expert of the Protection of Rights without Borders NGO, touched upon the outcomes and the main problems of the judiciary reforms programs implemented within 1995-2018 in the scope of a research.

The comparison of the program research and the measures implemented within its scope enabled to separate 3 group reasons, which had influence on the lack of independence of the judiciary:

✅ Incompatibility of legislation and practice

✅Repetition of the program measures

✅Lack of accountability and public awareness
