The Royal Committee for the Development of the Judiciary
The Royal Committee for the Development of the Judiciary was set up in 2000. The panel worked in accordance with the strategy for judicial development aimed at overcoming long-time obstacles that blocked the way towards launching into the world of modernization and legal and judicial reform.
"The judicial development process ensures the entrenchment of security, stability and sense of safety and enhance investment gains in the Kingdom"
The judicial development process was launched to translate into facts on the ground the Royal conviction that "no political, administrative, educational or economic development can be realized without drastic reforms" that ensure the entrenchment of security, stability and sense of safety and enhance investment gains in the Kingdom.
These reforms have resonated worldwide, as the reputation of any state and the degree to which it has progressed or regressed is a reflection of the degree of its judicial system's commitment to overseeing the implementation of rules and regulations and ensure their sovereignty, in harmony of the "state of institutions and rule of the law" vision and observance of the principles of justice, equality, transparency and equal opportunity.
By the end of 2008, several laws had been amended and a new inspection system was in place to ensure that judges abided by the rule of practice and procedure. Criminal courts and prosecution offices all over the Kingdom had also been connected electronically to the Justice Ministry.
