The reform will not solve everything but guarantees a third judge
Monsignor Gianni Fusco advocates for a judicial reform in Italy that emphasizes the independence of judges, drawing comparisons to practices observed in the Vatican.
Monsignor Gianni Fusco, a canon lawyer and professor of human rights at Lumsa and Link University, participated in the event 'Together for Yes' in Rome, which focused on the separation of judicial careers in the context of Italian legal reforms. He was joined by various legal experts including Minister Adolfo Urso and other prominent figures. In an interview, Fusco expressed his longstanding interest in justice debates, underscoring the importance of seeking more objective justice systems. Fusco highlighted the historical precedent of career separation within the Vatican's judicial system, referencing how Pope Francis has worked to formalize this distinction between judges and judicial promoters. He underscored that this separation not only enhances judicial independence but also aims to build a more objective judicial process, reflecting a crucial development in legal practices. He advocates for reform in Italy, not as a panacea but as a step towards ensuring judicial impartiality, thus encouraging engagement in justice initiatives. The discussions at the event are part of broader efforts to promote a structural shift in the Italian judiciary that aligns more closely with global standards for fair and impartial justice.
