Measure 1.2.9

Measure 1.2.9

“Prepare analysis of the implementation of justice system reform based on the HIJ-related component”.

This measure has the same wording as measures 1.2.5, 1.2.6, 1.2.7 provided for the HJC and HPC. It seems that the drafter of the Strategy has paid attention to maintaining the same standards for all three justice institutions.

This measure (i.e., 1.2.9) and the following one (1.2.10) seem to be interrelated. Basically, it is intended to prepare two types of analyzes. The analysis of the implementation of the system reform for HIJ will be developed first, and then, the findings/recommendations of this analysis will eventually be reflected in the analysis for the revision of the laws that regulate the HIJ activity (measure 1.2.10).

It remains unclear which institution will conduct this analysis – HIJ itself or another balanced structure that will analyze the work of other justice institutions, in addition to HIJ. We say this because HIJ’s work, although it can be analyzed separately, must also be seen in terms of the decision-making of HJC and HPC. Councils are the decision-making institutions for a proposal and investigation conducted by HIJ. The entirety of the activities of the three institutions can provide a clear picture of the implementation of the HIJ reform in terms of accountability, responsibility and professionalism.).

 

Conclusion: Based on the above in relation to the intended outcome (updating of legislation that implies revision of laws or bylaws), it is estimated that these measures are in themselves appropriate for as long as they will be taken to benefit this Outcome and Strategic Objective. However, it remains to be assessed the ‘moment’ when this update will take place, given the short lifespan of HIJ and, consequently, of the implementation of the legal framework governing the activity of this institution.
