| Summary: | This report analyzes the main reasons or
interests that have prevented some recent judicial and legal
reforms in Honduras and Bolivia from becoming effective. It
focuses on the reasons why criminal justice reforms were
unable to put an end to the misuse of pre-trial detention.
The report also includes a study of some of the reasons that
have prevented criminal procedure code reforms from reducing
the perception of impunity prevailing in both countries.
With respect to the reforms of judicial selection
mechanisms, it focuses on the interests that have prevented
the public perception of judicial independence from
improving in spite of the implementation of those reforms.
The report includes an annex to Section 1, consultations
with civil society in Honduras. Section 2 discusses civil
and commercial justice in Paraguay. Section 3 discusses
vested interests in legal and judicial reform projects in Guyana. |
