Minister of Justice calls for permanent ban on reinstating dismissed  judges

ArmInfo.  Armenia must develop and implement mechanisms to prevent dishonest and dismissed judges from returning to the bench, as stated by RA Minister of Justice Srbuhi Galyan during a panel discussion on the sidelines of a conference marking Judicial System Day on January 12.

According to her, such judges often oversee cases for 5-7 years,  after which it takes followed by an additional year just to reach  a  verdict. As a result, the number of people arrested in the country  has increased. However, as the Minister noted, a positive trend has  been observed in the past few years, indicating that the number of  convicted judges in the country has exceeded the number of those  arrested by 24. Galyan pointed out the need to impose disciplinary  liability on judges who drag out legal proceedings for years.
