Praia, July 13 (Inforpress) – The Minister of Justice stated today that the Government intends to implement a new approach to the management of the sector, based on innovation, cooperation and the enhancement of human resources, to respond to the “persistent challenges” of the administration of Justice.

Clóvis Silva's statements were made on the sidelines of the opening of the In-Person Workshop on Judicial Innovation, held as part of Phase II of the ESPIRAL Project, a cooperation initiative of the Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries (CPLP) aimed at strengthening innovation in the judicial systems of Portuguese-speaking countries.

According to the minister, the Government “wants to be disruptive”, breaking with traditional models which, in his view, have perpetuated structural problems in the functioning of the justice system.

"Our aim is to go far beyond simply providing resources,” said Clóvis Silva, adding that the Government wants to identify where the problems lie and find practical solutions by listening to all those involved in the system, from judges to court officials.
