On 14 January 2026<\/strong> we commemorated the 6th<\/sup> anniversary of the 1000 Robes March<\/strong> in a special event at the European Parliament in Brussels.<\/p>

Polish Members<\/strong> of the European Parliament<\/strong> (Kamila Gasiuk-Pihowicz and Micha\u0142 Wawrykiewicz) organized a screening of the film \u201cThousand Robes\u201d (by K. Lisowski and I. Harris). The following panel discussion, moderated by Vice President Dorota Zab\u0142udowska<\/strong>, focused on the story of the march and the future challenges in Poland and Europe.<\/p>

High-ranking representatives discussed the topic on the podium: Polish Minister of Justice Waldemar \u017burek<\/strong>, EAJ President Sabine Matejka<\/strong>, Honorary President of the IAJ Jos\u00e9 Igreja Matos<\/strong>, President of IUSTITIA Bart\u0142omiej Przymusi\u0144ski<\/strong>, Vice President of IUSTITIA Urszula \u017b\u00f3\u0142tak<\/strong>, former President Krystian Markiewicz<\/strong> and MEP Micha\u0142 Wawrykiewicz<\/strong>.<\/p>

The event gathered a significant audience. IAJ President Walter Barone<\/strong>, Honorary President Duro Sessa<\/strong>,Vice Presidents Roland Kempfle<\/strong> and Mohamed Redouane<\/strong> and former EAJ President Mikael Sjoberg<\/strong> attended the meeting, as well as members of other judicial organisations, such as President of MEDEL Mariarosaria Guglielmi<\/strong> and President of the Foundation Judges for Judges Tamara Trotman<\/strong>, representatives of CCBE<\/strong> and judges from all over Europe<\/strong>. Many of these judges participated in the March in 2020. They came together again to recall the importance of judicial independence for citizen\u2019s rights.<\/p>

On 9 January 2026<\/strong> the UN Special Rapporteur<\/strong> also issued an official statement<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span> on the International Day of Judicial Independence \u2013 1000 Robes March.<\/p>

A Swedish colleague, Dina Gutrad<\/strong>, wrote an article<\/span> <\/a><\/strong>about the 1000 Robes March initiative.<\/p>

The IAJ will continue its efforts to promote an International Day of Judicial Independence<\/strong>. It is a reminder that every citizen has a right to judicial protection and an independent court. Judicial independence is the heart of the rule of law and indispensable in any democracy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
