23 against 21. Does the High Qualification Commission of Judges agree with the negative opinions of the Public Integrity Council?

After almost four months, the results of the qualification assessment of judges are as follows:

  • In 23 cases, the High Qualification Commission of Judges (HQCJ) has overturned the negative opinions of the Public Integrity Council (PIC), allowing these judges to retain their positions. 
  • In 21 cases, the Commission has recommended the judges for dismissal.

Thus, the number of overturned opinions of the PIC still slightly exceeds the number of opinions regarding the judges’ unsuitability for their positions, concurred with by the Commission.

On a positive note, the HQCJ has started publishing its recommendations for dismissal, enabling an examination of the rationales behind the members’ decision-making. We will soon provide you with a more detailed analysis of these decisions.
