Description

This book examines the role of Egypt's judiciary in political reform. While justice in the Arab world is often marked by limited judicial autonomy toward the executive, the Egyptian judiciary has been noted for its strength and activism in defending democratic values. Judges have long sought greater independence from the executive and greater supervision of the electoral process to ensure transparent elections. In recent years, tensions between the judiciary and the executive have intensified. To gain concessions, judges threatened to boycott electoral supervision for the presidential and legislative elections in 2005 and organized sit-ins in the streets. The spring 2006 conference in Cairo, held in early April, focused on the role of judges in the process of political reform in Egypt and the Arab world. The conference was organized by the Cairo Institute for Human Rights Studies (CIHRS) in cooperation with the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD). This volume collects papers from the conference dealing with Egypt, offering a better understanding of the judiciary's role in democratic reform and the limits of their struggle. Editors and contributors include Nabil Abd al-Fattah, Ahmad Abd al-Hafiz, Maher Abu al-Einein, Hafez Abu Saada, Hisham Al-Bastawisi, Nathalie Bernard-Maugiron, Negad Al-Bora’i, Nathan Brown, Mustapha Kamel al-Sayyed, Abdallah Khalil, Mahmud Al-Khudayri, Isabelle Lendrevie, Tamir Moustafa, Mohamed Al-Sayed Said, Atef Shahat Said, and Younis Sherif.
