In April, the Independent Group of Jurists<\/strong> carried out a working agenda in Bolivia aimed at promoting a comprehensive reform of the justice system. As part of this effort, the Group held bilateral meetings with representatives of the Legislative Assembly, civil society organizations, journalists, international cooperation actors, and the private sector. These meetings sought to create spaces for exchange to help build a shared vision on the need to move toward an independent, effective justice system aligned with democratic standards.<\/p>\n

Through these conversations, the Independent Group of Jurists gathered diverse perspectives and identified areas of consensus around the structural challenges facing Bolivia\u2019s judicial system. In this regard, the effort seeks to lay the groundwork for a participatory and sustainable process aimed at ensuring greater judicial independence and strengthening the rule of law.<\/p>\n

The Group is composed of Eduardo Rodr\u00edguez Veltz\u00e9<\/strong>, former President of Bolivia; Jos\u00e9 Antonio Rivera<\/strong>, former justice of the Constitutional Court; Mar\u00eda Elena Attard<\/strong>, constitutional lawyer and university professor; Rub\u00e9n Dar\u00edo Cu\u00e9llar<\/strong>, Executive Director of the Fundaci\u00f3n Observatorio de Derechos Humanos y Justicia; and Ramiro Orias<\/strong>, DPLF Senior Program Officer, among other distinguished lawyers from Bolivia.<\/p>\n

This initiative is led by DPLF and the Fundaci\u00f3n Observatorio de Derechos Humanos y Justicia, with the support of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAS) in Bolivia. It seeks to consolidate a broad and inclusive dialogue process that can build consensus among institutional and social actors, with a view to advancing a far-reaching reform of the justice system that responds to citizens\u2019 demands and strengthens the country\u2019s democratic institutions.<\/p>\n
