Minister of Justice Adel Nassar announced on Friday the completion of the long-awaited draft law on judicial organization and independence, a key milestone in Lebanon’s stalled legal reform process.
“After many years of waiting, we are pleased to announce to the Lebanese people the completion of the Administration and Justice Committee’s work on the draft judicial organization law,” Nassar said in a statement.
The draft, which aims to bolster the independence of Lebanon’s judiciary, has been a central demand of reform advocates and legal professionals for years. Nassar voiced hope that the legislation would soon be placed on the agenda of the Parliament’s General Assembly for approval.
He also extended gratitude to all those who collaborated with the ministry in preparing the draft, emphasizing that it represents a long-standing and pressing demand of both the public and the judicial community.
