Moroccan Lawyers Challenge Court Vaccine Pass, Citing Judicial Independence Concerns

Moroccan lawyers still reject the authorities’ decision to introduce the vaccine pass in courts, denouncing an attack on the independence of the judiciary.
"Unconstitutionality", "infringement of individual freedoms...", their union has protested the extension of the use of the vaccine pass in the courts and explained that the judicial authority has compromised itself by adopting government decisions, reports Al Massae.
According to them, these decisions go against the constitutional provisions and international human rights conventions, and the ministry has no right to give guidance, advice or orders to judges, as this undermines the independence of the judiciary.
As a result, the union has refused any guardianship and called on its members to remain attached to their independence from any authority, in accordance with the fundamental principles of the role of lawyers adopted by the United Nations conference.
The signatories of the circular will be held responsible for the serious consequences of this decision on justice and the constitutional rights of citizens, particularly regarding the right to justiciability and a fair trial, they argued.
