Corruption Risk Assessment of the Judiciary in North Macedonia

The Corruption Risk Assessment of the Judiciary provides a comprehensive examination of the everyday corruption risks that often go unnoticed by policymakers in courts and public prosecution offices in North Macedonia. The Assessment was carried out in compliance with the National Strategy for the Prevention of Corruption and Conflict of Interest 2021-2025, in support of the State Commission for the Prevention of Corruption, and in partnership with the Association of Judges of the Republic of North Macedonia, and the Association of Public Prosecutors in the Republic of North Macedonia. This pioneering effort aims to estimate and rank corruption risks in the national judicial system, taking into account both legislative and practical implementation aspects. The Assessment also aims towards better-informed policymaking and an effective institutional response to the identified corruption risks in the judiciary.
