Today, I am presenting my report before the #UNGA77. It examines challenges and outlook for judicial independence in the context of the #2030Agenda and its reflection in #SDG16 “Promote just, peaceful and inclusive societies”.

#Colombia: En Oct. 2013, Fidupetrol, contactó al abogado Rodrigo Escobar Gil, con el fin de consultarle sobre un proceso de tutela, a cargo de otro abogado, que esa entidad llevaba contra la Corte Suprema ante la Corte Constitucional pendiente de revisión. Confirmó los fallos.
Esta Relatoría, sigue esperando información sobre dichas medidas, pues la contestación del Estado del 25 de julio no informa de los pasos correctivos adoptados ni sobre la demora de casi cuatro años de la Corte Suprema de Justicia en resolver el recurso de casación presentado.

Replying to @ECHR_CEDH
@ECHR_CEDH reaffirms its stance in yesterday’s judgment (Baser &Ozcelik v. Turkey) concerning the judges’ “duty” to defend the #RuleOfLaw :
“Loyalty of judges is to the rule of law & democracy; not to the holders of State power”

We had an engaging conversation with respected members of the legal profession, who reflected on my latest report presented before the 🇺🇳#HumanRightsCouncil on “the protection of lawyers worldwide.”
Thanks to @kas_ny and @NYCBarAssn for making this meeting possible.

🇰🇮 #Kiribati: @UNIndepJudges expresses grave concern for one of Kiribati’s most senior judges, David Lambourne, who was detained by immigration authorities after a failed attempt by the government to deport him. Read more: ow.ly/NQSg50KsliV
#Ecuador. Como Relator de la ONU sobre Independencia Judicial, sigo de cerca la situación de una orden judicial de excarcelación del expresidente Jorge Glass que no estaría siendo acatada ni ejecutada por las autoridades del ejecutivo.
Aquí corresponde recordar los Principios Básicos de la Independencia de la Judicatura vigentes desde 1985. Todas las instituciones gubernamentales y de otra índole respetarán y acatarán la independencia de la judicatura (principio 1). Una orden judicial firme debe ser cumplida.

Por el ejercicio de sus derechos, fue detenido el 14 de junio y trasladado a una base militar en donde estuvo incomunicado durante 17 horas. Luego se le habrían imputado cargos por paralización de servicio público, obstrucción de vía pública. La Fiscalía emitió cargos.
