― Albert Camus, The Plague
The terrible time we are living in with the coronavirus pandemic poses arduous challenges for those who work in the judicial system. The worldwide extent of the COVID-19 crisis has confronted us, again in our history, with the eternal fragility of humanity.

On a structural level, the enforcement of emergency laws approved by national authorities must be carefully supervised by the judiciary.

In all countries that decide to implement restrictions on the constitutional order, the risk of undermining the role of the judiciary will inevitably emerge.
