Judicial challenges in the new millennium : proceedings of the Second Ibero-American Summit of Supreme Courts and Tribunals of Justice
Sureda, Andres Rigo | Malik, Waleed Haider [editors]
In search of an optimal judicial role in social and economic development, many initiatives and meetings on judicial reform have been undertaken in the past few years in Latin America and around the world. One such meeting assembled more than 20 chief justices and presidents of supreme courts and over 200 members of Latin American judiciaries with an eye toward developing judicial reform strategies for the next millennium. The meeting focused on: judicial organization, citizen participation, judicial discipline, judicial ethics and corruption, human rights, citizen security, and drug problems. The summit also included a mock corruption trial. The papers collected in this volume were presented at the proceedings of the Second Ibero-American Summit of Supreme Courts and Tribunals of Justice, held on March 24-26, 1999, in Caracas, Venezuela. This regionwide conference was intended to promote the flow of ideas and perspectives among chief justices, judges, and practitioners in the judicial sector in Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain, and Portugal. Several observer country justices from outside the region, including Egypt, France, Guyana, Pakistan, Romania, and the West Indies, also participated. Representatives of nongovernmental organizations and several other local and international observers also attended the summit.
