Measure 1.3.2

Measure 1.3.2

“Completion of procedures for the appointment of magistrate and non-magistrate inspectors at the HIJ, as well as completion of the recruitment of the Office of the High Inspector of Justice staff”

The above measure, together with those listed below constitute the necessary steps to be taken in order to achieve Outcome 1.3.3. It should be taken in order to meet Outcome 1.3.3 and achieve the goals of Specific Objective 1.3.

Measure 1.3.2, ranked first, is about the completion of staff recruitment procedures (appointment of magistrate/non-magistrate inspectors as well as support administrative staff). Unless vacancies in human resources are filled, HIJ cannot be fully functional in performing the powers assigned to it by law. This measure creates a natural continuation with the measures (activities) that were foreseen in CJS I, where activity 1.03 mentioned the recruitment of employees[1]. CJS I also assessed that recruitment, together with infrastructure (buildings, including furniture, relevant IT equipment) are basic conditions for the establishment and functioning of the institution. Meanwhile, this measure is in coherence with the measure “Filling vacancies in the Institution”, provided in the framework of Specific Objective 1.2 “Ensuring financial and administrative autonomy of the Office of the High Inspector of Justice” provided in the Action Plan of this institution. The deadline for the implementation of this measure according to the HIJ Action Plan is 2020-2021. For this reason, its fulfillment in accordance with the current situation should be re-evaluated. Meanwhile, HIJ also has indicators for its measurement, whose data can be borrowed to measure its implementation.

Conclusion: Given that HIJ still has vacancies in its organization, both in terms of inspectors and administrative staff, the measure is considered appropriate and in line with the current situation in order to achieve the required result for HIJ.
