ArmInfo. Within the framework of the Second Judicial Reform Project
in Armenia, Hulla & Co. Human Dynamics KG, Austria, in cooperation
with Ameria CJSC, was commissioned for the implementation of the
"Technical Assistance and Consulting Services for the Institutional
Support of the Council of Justice and Judicial Department" project.

The press service of America reports that the judicial reforms in
Armenia are implemented in two stages. During this initial phase
(2003-2008) actions were taken to contribute to the separation of the
judicial power from political power, as well as a new institutional
framework was introduced.

The second stage of the reforms is aimed at providing Armenia’s
judiciary with the administration, facilities and expanded capacities
required to improving efficiency, reliability and the transparency
of judicial operations and services. To achieve these goals the
"Technical Assistance and Consulting Services for the Institutional
Support of the Council of Justice and Judicial Department" 8-month
project will come up with comprehensive recommendation package on the
use of tools, mechanisms and criteria for the evaluation, promotion
and disciplining of judges.

Within the framework of the project the Consortium will develop
rules and processes for Council of Justice procedures for the
professional development of judicial candidates and promotion lists,
standard evaluation criteria for judges and evaluation processes. The
consultants will also implement transparent rules and procedures
that provide due process for the disciplining of judges. Finally,
the Consortium will hold training sessions for the key personnel of
the Ministry of Justice and Judicial Department to provide practical
training on the recommendation package and reports developed during
the Project.
