In a note addressed to the judges who missed the April 13 session of the tribunal, which had broad attendance from the majority of judges, the President of the Constitutional Court and the chair of the panel urged the absent magistrates to resume their duties. The communication states that failing to participate in deliberations is a breach of a judge’s duties, and it hampers the court in delivering justice when some members opt out of proceedings. It emphasizes that a judge cannot selectively choose which deliberations or hearings to engage with, and that nonparticipation disrupts the work of the Constitutional Court and can undermine the court’s operation in the eyes of the public.

The absence of some judges from today’s deliberations is described as a sign of irresponsibility and a challenge to the claim that the dissenting judges have a unitary pro-state aim. The statement expresses hope that the judges will heed the President’s call. It also states that the debate over amending the law governing the Supreme Court must proceed without being driven by ongoing courtroom conflicts.
