Please find, below, the assessments, comments and suggestions of Daha İyi Yargı Derneği (Better Justice Association) concerning the “Judicial Reform Strategy 2019” document, addressed to the public on May 30, 2019, by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. This is an extract of comments and suggestions from a more detailed version in Turkish that can be obtained from www.dahaiyiyargi.org website.
The reforms intended for the further development of businesses and organisations can attain the desired goals only if consensus is reached by the public concerning the direction, goals, and methods of the reform. However, to reach a public consensus on vital and critical issues is rather difficult and will take time.
Judicial reform is a very complicated and complex issue through which it is rather difficult to reach public consensus. Public consensus may not be reached on a certain document, but the thinkers who structure debates on a specific document may, in fact, read when a consensus has occurred and demonstrate it to the public. A clash of ideas results in improvement and development by the opposing parties. Although improvements may be achieved in a short period time through wisdom and god communication, absent of these essential tools debates on public issues can take years to come to fruition for the public. For this reason, nations develop at speeds different from each other, and some of them, even though they are also developing, remain behind other nations.
