The Global Judicial Integrity Network was launched in April 2018 in Vienna at a high-level meeting that brought together over 350 high-level participants, including 35 court presidents and other senior representatives of judiciary from 106 countries and 40 judicial associations, thus representing the largest meeting of judges ever organized under the auspices of the United Nations.
After the opening ceremony and the welcome speech held by Dr. Hassan bin Lahdan Alhassan Almohanadi, Chief Justice of Qatar, the High Level Meeting continued with the presentation of the Network's achievements since its inception and the organization of several plenary sessions and thematic sessions. Topics addressed during the plenary sessions were: a) the use of social media by judges; b) issues of judicial integrity related to gender equality; c) the use of artificial intelligence by the judiciary; and d) how to work together for judicial integrity.
At the end of this meeting, the Albanian delegation participated in an official reception organized at the Embassy headquarters by Mr. Kujtim Xhani, Chargé d'Affaires of the Republic of Albania in Qatar.
