Judicial Authority Warns of Judiciary Paralysis
A Lebanese judicial authority has revealed a severe shortage of judges, with tens of thousands of cases pending before only twenty judges. This has led to a backlog of cases and a significant slowdown in the functioning of the judiciary. The authority urges the government and the Higher Judicial Council to appoint new judges and to increase judges' salaries to boost productivity, in addition to improving the role of judicial inspection. The shortage of judges and the freeze on hiring for the past six years are considered among the main reasons for the stagnation of judicial work in Lebanon and the delay in issuing rulings.
