Cases of Violation of Guarantees of Independence of Judges by Law Enforcement Agencies and Individuals
The European Charter on the Statute for Judges establishes the «right to appeal» for every judge if he/she believes that there is a threat to his/her independence or the independence of the legal process, or if this independence is somehow violated, and in such a case, he/she can refer the matter to an independent body. This means that judges are not left defenseless in cases of encroachments on their independence.
