On Thursday, January 16, 2025, at the Supreme Court, His Excellency Mr. Bassirou Diomaye Faye, President of the Republic, will preside over the solemn opening ceremony of the Courts and Tribunals. This ceremony will mark the beginning of the 2025 judicial year and will be held under the theme: 'Right to Strike and Preservation of Public Order.'
Bringing together key actors of the judicial system, this ceremony will provide an opportunity to discuss current challenges and explore ways to improve the functioning of the courts.
The choice of theme highlights the necessity of balancing the respect for fundamental rights, particularly the right to strike, with the requirement to maintain public order. Central to the discussions will be the search for a balance that strengthens citizens' trust in the judicial institution and ensures social stability.
