The National Institute of Justice finished a bilateral initiative under the NFM with a digital publication of a collection of presentations and materials on the topic “Judges under Stress in Europe”
The National Institute of Justice completed the project “Judges under Stress in Europe”, implemented in partnership with the Norwegian Courts Administration and funded by the Fund for Bilateral Relations under the Justice Programme of the Norwegian Financial Mechanism 2014-2021.
Within the initiative, an international conference was held in Vilnius, Lithuania, on the topic “Judges under Stress in Europe”, which was attended by 87 judges, experts and judicial officials from Bulgaria, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Romania, Serbia and Croatia. The aim of the event was to provide the participants with increased knowledge on the tools to avoid and resist pressure against the judiciary.
Following the conference, the initiative’s partner, the Norwegian Courts Administration, in cooperation with the University of Oslo, produced a compendium of presentations and materials exchanged during the event.
The original presentations from the conference held in April 2024, made available to the Institute courtesy of the Norwegian Courts Administration, have been published in the „Digiral Library“ section of the NIJ e-Learning Portal.
