Stanford University report: Vetting 'crippled' justice in Albania

Undertaking the process of re-evaluation of judges and prosecutors, the so-called vetting, without a plan or strategy to replace the gaps created in the justice system seriously violated the fundamental rights of Albanian citizens.

A Stanford University study highlights that vetting violated the right of Albanian citizens to a fair trial within a reasonable time frame.

The study says that Albania's experience with the vetting process shows the need to have a back-up plan to maintain systems and procedures when undertaking such a profound justice reform.

The vetting process went to the heart of the judicial system, affecting the judges of the Supreme Court and those of the Constitutional Court. The emptying of these courts, says the study, crippled the judicial system.

A vetting process that seeks to re-evaluate all judges in a country and replace those found unsuitable requires a gradual, phased implementation so that the system can continue to function normally as it undergoes reform.

The Stanford University report highlights the fact that in 2015, the number of stock files in the Supreme Court was about 8 thousand, while in 2021 this number went to 36 thousand.
