A conference will be held on reinforcing the independence and
efficiency of judicial systems in the South Caucasian countries in
Tbilisi (Georgia) on 19 and 20 November 2008, an event organised

and the rule of law and to defining priorities for their judicial
reforms. The meeting will also consider how to improve citizen access
to justice and enhance the professionalism and efficacy of judges.

This event will be attended by Justice Ministers, Presidents of Supreme
Courts, Principal State Prosecutors, Ombudspersons and other members
of the judicial professions in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia.

The Deputy Secretary General of the Council of Europe, Maud de
Boer-Buquicchio, and the Georgian Minister for Foreign Affairs,
Eka Tkeshelashvili, will be among the personalities speaking at the
opening of the conference.
