Statement on Poland

The President of the European Association of Judges, Mr. Duro Sessa, signed a Statement concerning a case of disciplinary liability of judges in Poland.

In the Statement the EAJ urges the European Commission and the Council of Europe to use all means to bring the Polish authorities to accept their obligations and, in particular, to ensure that the decisions of the Court of Justice and European Court for Human Rights are respected. In particular, the EAJ emphasizes the principle according to which a judge should not be subjected to a disciplinary proceeding for decisions he or she has taken in the exercise of his or her duties.
