Roundtable on individual evaluation of judges - Council of Europe Office in Tirana

Back Roundtable on individual evaluation of judges

A round table to present the report on the Individual Evaluation of Judges in Albania was organised today in cooperation with EURALIUS IV within the framework of the joint project “Support to the Efficiency of Justice – SEJ”, funded by the European Union and implemented by the Council of Europe.

The Report is a result of the comprehensive desk research, interviews and discussions with the Albanian judges, national authorities and international organisations. It provides an analysis of the current system in Albania in the light of international standards and evaluation systems assessed in other Council of Europe member States and makes recommendations on how to improve the system in line with the Consultative Council of European Judges' Opinion no. 17 (2014) on the evaluation of judges’ work, the quality of justice and respect for judicial independence.

Albania became member of the Council of Europe on 13 July 1995. Following its accession, a Council of Europe presence headed by the Special Representative of the Secretary General of the Council of Europe was established in Albania, and succeeded, in June 2003, by the establishment of the Information Office of the Council of Europe. Since January 2011, a Council of Europe Office in Tirana is set up as a new institutional form of co-operation.

As representative of the Secretary General in Albania, the Office works to promote the Council of Europe values and standards pertaining to human rights, rule of law and democracy. It facilitates the effective co-operation between the various Council of Europe bodies located in its Headquarters in Strasbourg and the domestic and international partner institutions in Albania.

The work of the Council of Europe in Albania is dedicated to assisting the Albanian authorities to continue bringing the Albanian legislation, its institutional practices and policies fully in line with its obligations stemming from its Council of Europe membership.
