National Reports


Purpose of the National Reports

Each national workshop in Morocco, Jordan, Lebanon and Tunisia is followed by the drafting of a national report (four in all) on the independence and impartiality of the judiciary in the respective countries. The task to draft this national report is trusted to a local legal expert working under the supervision and with the support of the local members of the Justice Working Group. The aim of the reports is to trigger a debate on judicial issues at local level while feeding into ongoing activities on judicial reform such as those envisaged in the Action Plans of the European Neighbourhood Policy.

The national reports are currently being elaborated. With respect to Morocco, Mr. Abdelaziz Nouaydi is the local expert choosen for this task. In regards to the national report on Jordan, two Jordanian lawyers are working jointly on the elaboration, namely Mr Zaha' Farahan AL-Majali and Mr Omar Qadora.

The reports will be published by the end of 2007/early 2008. They will be distributed via the EMHRN website as well as by emails. NGO partners will ensure distribution at local level.
