Meeting of Prof Angelika Nußberger as a member of a delegation of the Venice Commission with the Polish Minister of Justice

Prof. Angelika Nußberger travelled to Warsaw on 25 April 2024 to take part in a meeting with the Polish Minister of Justice, Adam Bodnar, as a member of the Venice Commission. The reason for the meeting was an exchange of views on the law drafted by the Polish Ministry of Justice to amend the law on the National Judicial Council, which aims to restore the right to elect judges.

The Venice Commission is an advisory body to the Council of Europe on constitutional issues, which is committed to the principles of democracy and the rule of law. Information on the work of the Venice Commission can be found here.
