It consolidates numerous courts and prosecution offices into a single, integrated complex to enhance judicial efficiency and accessibility, representing a key part of the Kingdom’s judicial modernization efforts under Vision 2030.
Supreme Judicial Council
The Supreme Judicial Council is a high-level judicial authority in many countries, typically responsible for overseeing the judiciary, ensuring its independence, and managing the affairs of judges. Its history often stems from constitutional reforms aimed at separating judicial governance from direct executive control, with its specific powers and establishment date varying by nation.
Sirte Court of Appeal
