New Tribunal Aims to Cleanse Mexico's Corrupt Judicial System

Mexico City - Ariadna Camacho, a candidate for Magistrate of the Judicial Discipline Tribunal, recently spoke about the crucial role of the new body in ensuring accountability within Mexico's judicial system. The tribunal aims to empower citizens to monitor judges, ministers, and magistrates, and to sanction any misconduct. "We don't want the Judicial Discipline Tribunal to become a tool for abuse," Camacho stated, emphasizing the need for due process. The tribunal's power extends to investigating and potentially sanctioning judges and ministers, but will not overturn existing sentences. This new oversight mechanism is a significant step towards judicial reform in Mexico, aiming to address corruption and ensure fairness. Camacho's interview highlights the complexities and challenges of this reform, while emphasizing the tribunal's potential to improve the integrity of the judicial system.
