"The
Global Corruption Report 2007 concludes that
a
corrupt
judiciary erodes the international
community’s ability
to prosecute transnational crime
and i
nhibits access to justice and
redress for
human rights violations".

Judicial corruption means
the innocent get punished while the guilty commit crime with

“Equal treatment before the
law is a pillar of democratic societies. When courts are
corrupted by greed or political expediency, the scales of
justice are tipped, and ordinary people
suffer.”The above quote (by
Dr Huguette
Labelle) has been taken from a
Transparency
International document titled "
GLOBAL
CORRUPTION REPORT 2007".
Among many
other things, it claims that
"Interference from politicians
or civil servants can also buy 'legal' cover for embezzlement,
nepotism, cronyism and
illegal political decisions (such as, for example,
unconstitutionally saddling the
People of the
Republic of Ireland with a
second Lisbon
Treaty referendum which they never asked
for).
Such interference can be as blatant as physical
threats and intimidation, and as subtle as the manipulation of
judicial appointments, salaries and conditions of
service." (For information on other examples of
"political decisions" believed to be
illegal please click

)
Another claim in the report:
"Lawyers may charge
additional 'fees' to expedite or delay cases, or to direct
clients to judges known to take bribes".

People of the Republic of Ireland might very
usefully get to know about, and to
