Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 72684, member: 636"] Commonwealth leader Shirley Botchwey pledged assistance for Bangladesh's court modernization efforts during her inaugural trip to Dhaka, meeting with Chief Justice Syed Refaat Ahmed at the Supreme Court. The international official commended reforms aimed at boosting transparency and institutional autonomy within the legal system. Botchwey highlighted the establishment of a Supreme Judicial Appointment Council as enhancing impartiality in selecting High Court magistrates. She noted that recent authorization for creating a Supreme Court Secretariat would strengthen administrative operations and advance the separation of judicial powers from other government branches. The secretary-general confirmed that her organization would help Bangladesh implement its judicial transformation agenda while sharing proven methods from member states across the Commonwealth network.
