There should be no deputies on the TSJ's nomination committee, says former mayor

Former Venezuelan Attorney General Javier Elechiguerra Naranjo proposes that the committee selecting Supreme Court justices should be composed of civil society representatives, not National Assembly deputies, to restore constitutional legitimacy.

Elechiguerra proposes a postulation committee for TSJ made up of civil society, not AN deputies.

He cites the Constitution requiring committees to include academics, professional colleges, unions, businesspeople, and NGOs.

He claims no magistrate, prosecutor, or defender has been appointed per constitutional procedure.

He calls for transitional justice to prosecute crimes against humanity.
