Council of the Judiciary

The Council of the Judiciary is an independent body that oversees the functioning and independence of the judiciary system, including courts and judges. Its main role is to ensure judges are appointed, evaluated, and disciplined impartially, safeguarding fair legal processes. The council often helps maintain the balance of power by reducing political influence on the judiciary, promoting transparency, and upholding the rule of law. While structures vary by country, generally, it acts as a guardian of judicial independence and integrity, ensuring that courts remain fair and effective in delivering justice.
