Justice Fund Proposal Submitted
Berlin, December 6, 2024 (hib) – A proposal for the establishment of a Justice Fund has been submitted to the Bundestag. The application was made by a group of cross-party parliamentarians and is supported by the Federal Ministry of Justice.
The Justice Fund would provide financial support for projects that promote justice and the rule of law in Germany. This could include projects aimed at combating discrimination, promoting access to justice, or strengthening the independence of the judiciary.
The fund would be financed through a surcharge on court fees. The amount of the surcharge has not yet been determined, but it is expected to be in the range of 1-2%.
The Justice Fund would be managed by an independent foundation. The foundation would be responsible for selecting projects to be funded and for monitoring their progress.
The proposal for the Justice Fund has been met with mixed reactions. Some have welcomed the initiative, arguing that it is important to invest in justice and the rule of law. Others have expressed concerns about the potential impact of the surcharge on court fees.
The Bundestag is expected to debate the proposal in the coming weeks. If approved, the Justice Fund could be established as early as 2025.
