The Attorney General office is working with Retired Justice of the Constitutional Court of South Africa Johann Kriegler to conduct an assessment on the Maldivian judiciary.
Kriegler started the assessment last Saturday and will continue working as a consultant until June 2, the AG office said in a statement Monday.
The retired judge will meet with state institutions, independent commissions, civil society actors and legal experts.
The main objective of the assessment is to identify difficulties in enforcing laws, the AG office said. Kriegler will also review policies on the appointment and penalisation of judges and examine the judicial structure to study how institutions function.
