Our judicial system is cracking under the weight of its own incompetence

Our judicial system cannot help keeping itself out of adverse publicity as, following last week’s Supreme Judicial Council decision not to confirm Doria Varoshiotou as a judge, we had a compelling decision by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) against Cyprus.

The court lambasted not only the Cyprus Republic but also the deputy attorney-general himself personally for the failure to administer even the slightest resemblance of judicial propriety in the case of a woman who complained about her rape.
