In
order to strengthen the judiciary sector, the Union Supreme Court and
State/Region High Courts held a special coordination meeting at the Union
Supreme Court meeting hall, Nay Pyi Taw, yesterday morning.
In
his opening speech at the meeting, Union Chief Justice U Htun Htun Oo said that
judiciary power has been distributed to the Union Supreme Court, State/Region
High Courts and Courts of Self-Administered Regions and Zones, and Justices,
Judges and Law Officers were assigned to provide justice and court
administration. All those in the judiciary sector are responsible for the
establishment of a free, fair, trusted and beneficial judiciary system for the
people.
A
strategic plan for judiciary reform in Myanmar had been drawn up and
systematically implemented. A three-year strategic judiciary action plan
(2015-2017) had been successfully implemented and a five-year strategic judiciary
action plan (2018-2022) has been started. State- and region-wise strategic work
processes for judiciary and management groups were formed. At the moment,
priority must be given to administer justice and conduct court management works
according to law, codes and procedures within a set time frame, without
corruption, unethical and immoral practices, he said.
Priority
needs to be given to the systematic management of court evidence and court
personnel. Duties and responsibilities will be defined and assigned to be
conducted at the township, district, state/region and union levels. Only then,
can the aim of the judiciary to provide high quality judiciary service, public
trust and confidence in courts and the effective rule of law will be achieved.
This will also support the State’s special priority work processes and economic
development, the Union Chief Justice said.
The
special coordination meeting was attended by Justices of the Supreme Court of
the Union, State/Region Chief Judges, directors-general, deputy
directors-general and directors of the Union Supreme Court Office and Office of
the Union Judiciary Supervision and State/Region Chief Law Officers. The
special coordination meeting will be held from 21 to 22 April, it is learnt.
