Measure 2.4.8

Measure 2.4.8

“Creation of infrastructure to establish a public reception unit at the HIJ”.

This measure is designed to achieve the outcomes related to the establishment of an office for public information at HIJ. This measure contains elements that almost every institution of the justice system has in its structure, as they relate to the proper exercise of powers given to them by law.

The measure is not in coherence with Objective 2.4. Such a measure further serves the transparency of HIJ and the access of citizens to this institution, in order to cooperate to increase the accountability of the judiciary.

Secondly, the measure is closely related to the consolidation of the institution. It is envisaged as such in the 2020-2022 Strategic Plan for the Office of the High Inspector of Justice, as an activity for the realization of Strategic Objective 4: Increasing transparency and public access to the activity of the Office of the High Inspector of Justice, with implementation deadline of March 2021. In this regard, we think that the measure is not current or realistic.

 

Conclusion: The measure does not meet Objective 2.4. It is not necessary to be included in the level of the Cross-cutting Strategy (i.e., the Umbrella Strategy), as long as it is included as a short-term (March 2021) activity at the strategy of the institution itself.
