Recommendations of the APR Panel
266.
The APR Panel recommends the following:
•
Initiate the process of revising the constitution so as to strengthen the
legislative and judicial powers (remove justice and the CSM from the grip

Regarding Parliament:

Consolidate and accelerate the implementation of the Special Programme
for Institutional Capacity Building of the National Assembly, build offices
and strengthen the recruitment and training of executives and staff

(Parliament, government, PAD).
•
Depoliticise staff so that they become public servants in the service of the
interests of the nation and not of specific partisan groups (Parliament).
•
Review the law on the status of the opposition so as to define it in relation
to the government (Parliament, government, political parties).
In order to consolidate the independence of the magistracy and the autonomy
of judicial power:
•
Accelerate and strengthen the implementation of the PANRJ in all its
dimensions, and enhance the credibility of the judicial system
(government, Parliament).
•
Introduce mobile courts chaired by a magistrate, which replace

(CSM, supreme jurisdictions).
•
Strengthen the implementation of the policy on prisons and its action plan
(government).
