On behalf of the Lebanese people
The article focuses on the importance of procedural principles in the fair execution of justice according to the Lebanese Constitution. It emphasizes that these principles are not mere formalities that can be bypassed. It clarifies that the presence of the accused and the granting of their rights to defense and appeal within legal deadlines are essential requirements for achieving justice, and that enabling them to exercise these rights is a legal obligation, not a favor granted by the judiciary. The article also highlights the danger of populism in the judiciary, especially when popular sentiment influences judicial decisions and basic guarantees of justice are neglected, leading to injustice and the undermining of principles of independence and integrity. It explains that neglecting procedural standards can result in unfair procedures, and stresses that safeguards for judges and litigants are necessary to ensure a fair balance, with a clear distinction between legal interpretation and legal errors to preserve the credibility of the judicial system.
