Independence of judiciary as a component of sustainable development

Abstract

There is no doubt that independence of judiciary is considered a fundamental pillar for ensuring the achievement of justice and the protection of human rights within countries, and thus contributes to sustainable development that ensures sustainable growth that aims to meet the needs of the current generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs, which are also concerned with improving the quality of life for individuals and promoting equality and social justice. Independence of judiciary in any constitutional system is considered the basic guarantee of individual rights and freedoms. In addition, to guarantee the freedoms of individuals, the principle of separation of powers must be implemented. Here, it can be said that applying the principle of separation of powers is one of the assumptions of independence of judiciary. The idea of judicial independence does not exist if there is no actual separation of powers, such that one does not cease to control the other. Thus, the executive authority does not infringe on the independence of the judiciary, and thus the judiciary loses all value.
