The Second Justice Conference: "Toward Supporting and Promoting the Independence of the Judiciary" Cairo, Egypt
The Second Justice Conference was held in Cairo 21-24 February 2003 under the auspices of an Egyptian NGO, the Arab Center for the Independence of the Judiciary and the Legal Profession. Other sponsoring organizations included the Program on Arab Governance (POGAR) of the United Nations Development Program and the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. The Ford Foundation also contributed funding and IFES provided expertise. The stated objective of the conference was “to explore the status of the independence of the judiciary in the Arab region.” More specifically, the conference was to “further examine the requirements of an independent judiciary at international law in order to draft a ‘covenant of independence’ through which progress regarding independence of the judiciary in the Arab region can be measured and followed up.”
