Recent news highlights its involvement in various areas, including prison management, judicial appointments, and legal reforms.

Other articles detail controversial judicial appointments in Romania, the appointment of a special prosecutor for crimes in Gambia, and concerns about the treatment of minors in Madagascar's justice system.
