The Constitutional Court, in cooperation with the OSCE Presence in Albania, presented the first Jurisprudence Guide of the Constitutional Court, on February 21, 2024.
Representatives of justice institutions, lawyers, academics, legal professionals and international partners participated in the organized event, which was opened by the President of the Constitutional Court, Holta Zaçaj, and the Acting Chairperson of the OSCE Presence, Clarisse Pasztory.
The guide aims to improve the quality of individual constitutional appeals, contributing to the increase of citizens’ access to the Court and to the better protection of their fundamental rights and freedoms. It will serve judicial staff to improve research capacities and help the Constitutional Court to standardize decisions. The guide will also serve lawyers, legal practitioners and legal scholars to know and effectively refer to the jurisprudence of this court.
The OSCE presence supported the drafting of the Roadmap as part of its project “Strengthening the rule of law and promoting the protection of human rights in Albania through support for the Constitutional Court”, funded by the United States of America, Italy and Greece.
The presence will continue to support the Constitutional Court in its efforts to increase the transparency, accessibility and efficiency of its activity as well as strengthening the institutional capacities to support the rule of law and the protection of human rights, in accordance with international standards and OSCE commitments.
