Address by the Secretary General of the Network
Judge Dr. Nashat Al-Akhras
The judiciary holds a noble mission, one that fosters peace, stability, growth, and prosperity within society. A fair judicial system—one that delivers justice, equality, and protects rights—is essential. It rests on the public’s trust in the legal system to uphold the rule of law and combat corruption.
An independent and impartial judiciary plays a crucial role in promoting economic, political, and social stability. By upholding the rule of law, safeguarding rights, and streamlining legal procedures, the judiciary creates an environment conducive to investment, commerce, and the protection of rights. When a strong and effective judicial system is in place, it inspires confidence and security in society.
To achieve these noble objectives, we must enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of judicial personnel. This can be accomplished through the continuous development of legal procedures and the professional training of human resources. Investing in people—particularly in the skills and competencies of those within the judiciary—has proven to be one of the most impactful investments in driving societal development.
One key goal of judicial institutes is to nurture and strengthen the skills of their personnel. This includes training and empowering judges, prosecutors, and administrative staff, equipping them with the tools they need to excel in their roles. By doing so, we ensure that courts and law enforcement bodies are staffed with highly qualified professionals capable of upholding justice.
This is where the European-Arab Judicial Training Network plays a pivotal role. The network was established to foster the exchange of knowledge and expertise in legal education and training among member countries. By organizing training courses, exchange programs, and ongoing professional development—including the training of trainers—the network enhances the capacities of judicial personnel. It ensures that they are equipped with the knowledge, experience, and rich legal heritage necessary to meet the evolving demands of today’s fast-paced economic, technological, and social landscape.
