Independence of Justice Operators in the Americas. Regional overview and challenges for the defense of democracy

Abstract

The Justice Studies Center of the Americas (JSCA) presents this publication, which contains a current overview of the state of the independence of justice operators in the Americas. The study seeks to address two main questions: What is the status of judicial independence from a broad regional perspective? What impacts and risks does the region currently face? In addition to answering these questions, this report proposes a new roadmap for work in this field by justice institutions, civil society and international agencies.
