Armenia has undergone several stages of judicial reform, beginning in 1995 shortly after their independence from the USSR. The most recent 2015 constitutional reform remapped Armenia’s judiciary, including the creation of a Supreme Judicial Council with new procedures for appointing, discipling, and removing judges. The subsequent implementation of that reform has been shaped by the after-effects of the 2018 Velvet Revolution, a popular nonviolent uprising that replaced the Prime Minister and the ruling party in favor of a government more responsive to the people. Judicial independence and corruption were major concerns motivating the Revolution, and they remain major concerns motivating the efforts to reform the judiciary. After the Revolution in 2018, civil society groups pressured the government to begin a judicial vetting process like the one done in Albania. While judicial vetting has been done since then, the scope of the inquiry has been significantly scaled back. Reform efforts have also been monitored, influenced, and motivated by Armenia’s membership in the Council of Europe.
