← 🇧🇪 Chambre des représentants/PROPOSITION DE LOIbe-56-1414

Proposition de loi modifiant diverses dispositions en vue de protéger les magistrats et les membres du greffe en masquant leur identité.

Stage en_commissionUpdated 3mo ago

This is a Belgian bill, tabled in the federal Chamber of Representatives, that would amend several legal provisions so that magistrates (judges and prosecutors) and court registry staff can have their identities kept out of public view. The stated aim is to protect these officials from threats, intimidation and reprisals linked to their work, which falls under the broader subject of public security. The bill would mainly affect members of the Belgian judiciary and court clerks, who could gain greater anonymity in proceedings and public records. It may also affect defendants, lawyers, journalists and the public, since limiting the disclosure of officials' names could change transparency in court processes.
