The Council of Europe’s European Commission for the Efficiency of Justice (CEPEJ) adopted an “Action Plan on Digitalisation for a Better Justice for 2022–2025” yesterday, which is aimed at reconciling the efficiency of new technologies and the respect of fundamental rights.
The guidelines are structured around key areas aimed at ensuring that justice is delivered in a “transparent, collaborative, human, people-centred and accessible, enlightened, and finally responsible and responsive manner”.
The CEPEJ has also adopted a “Revised Roadmap” aiming at ensuring an appropriate follow-up of its “European Ethical Charter on the use of Artificial Intelligence in judicial systems and their environment”. This monitoring will involve a certification mechanism for artificial intelligence tools and services used within the legal and judicial field.
Guidelines on electronic court filing and the digitalisation of courts –the “Revised SATURN Guidelines for Judicial Time Management” – were also adopted.
