Humanising Justice: Chief Justice unveils vision for judicial wellbeing in Pakistan
The Chief Justice of Pakistan Justice Yahya Afridi, has underscored the urgent need to humanise judicial reforms by recognising the emotional, psychological, and institutional pressures faced by judges, particularly at the district level.
“A judge who is institutionally supported is better able to be fair, focused, and effectively responsive,” he remarked, affirming his unwavering commitment to ensure dignity, protection, and institutional support for the judiciary.
The Chief Justice said this while delivering his keynote address at the National Symposium, regarding the International Day for Judicial Wellbeing. The symposium was held on Friday at the Federal Judicial Academy, here, under the theme “The Human Dimension of Responsive Justice.”
Chief Justice Afridi outlined a series of judicial reform initiatives led through the National Judicial (Policy Making) Committee, including the establishment of Model Criminal Trial Courts, timelines for speedy disposal of civil and criminal matters, development of a Professional Excellence Index, and formulation of ethical guidelines for the use of Artificial Intelligence in the judiciary.
