Acceso a la Justicia proposed before the CIDH a path for the independent election of TSJ magistrates

Acceso a la Justicia, a Venezuelan NGO, proposed a roadmap to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (CIDH) for the independent election of Supreme Court (TSJ) magistrates, emphasizing the need for constitutional compliance and civil society participation.

Acceso a la Justicia presented a proposal to the CIDH for independent selection of TSJ magistrates.

The proposal highlights the opportunity for reinstitutionalization and constitutional compliance in the selection process.

The current law gives control of candidate preselection to the National Assembly, reducing civil society participation.

The NGO suggests the law can be reformed, as it was recently modified to increase the number of magistrates.
