An effort has been made continuously to justify the shortcomings and major defects in the current judicial system in the Republic of Albania, caused mainly by the structural organization of the dependency of the investigative and court bodies, but also by the activity of the courts as a whole. This has also been pointed out in the discussions held in the sessions of the People’s Assembly when issues of the organization of justice and of some special institutions were being dealt with. The main cause of these distortions has been the mistaken conception of the role of the justice bodies, linked to the heritage of the old system, to the lack of professionalism, to biased appointments and to political interference. This has caused a part of the judicial body and the prosecution service not to enjoy public trust and to fail to fulfill its constitutional mission. Therefore, the reorganization of the justice institutions as a whole is necessary, the raising of new professional standards, the reassessment of cadres and the guaranteeing of their independence from political influences. In this framework, the previous appointment practices and the relevant files should also be carefully examined, so that the system is freed from unsuitable figures and gains new credibility. In light of the proposals presented, it appears necessary that the reform be swift, profound and law-based, so that the normal functioning of the courts, prosecutor’s offices and other justice bodies is restored. Only in this way can a state based on law be built and the protection of citizens' rights ensured.
