This Sunday, December 15, the president of the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ), Tania D'Amelio, explained that the elected judges and justices of the peace will have a period of three years to exercise their functions in the communities.

“The communal judges and justices of the peace will have a three-year term and it will be the judges of that structure who will decide who will coordinate each year, that is, if you are three years old, they are three main and alternate judges, they decide who will coordinate the first year, the second and the third year,” he said during the balance sheet of the Electoral Commission for the Elections of Judges and Justices of the Peace.

He stressed that the objective of communal judges and justices of the peace is to arbitrate conflict resolution in communities; for this reason, he assured the importance of having elected judges live in the territory for at least three years.

He also noted that after being elected or elected, judges of the peace will undergo training at the School of the Judiciary. “We are going to move to a training and training plan, we are going to start the first month in training for all the men and women who were elected, including the Community Justice and Peace Committees that live in the Municipal Councils,” he said, stressing that this training plan will be permanent.

“We are going to accompany the judges and judges, today I want to say that the judges are not going to be alone in any way, we are going to be accompanying those men and women of peace who are going to be in the territory,” he emphasized.
