Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic – The Dominican Judiciary has finalized its groundbreaking Ten-Year Plan, titled “Justice of the Future 2034,” marking a significant milestone in the nation’s judicial reform efforts. The final document was officially presented to stakeholders during a high-profile ceremony on Wednesday, presided over by President Luis Abinader and Chief Justice Henry Molina at Casa San Pablo. The event drew over 3,000 participants, including Supreme Court justices, prosecutors, public defenders, legislators, business leaders, and civil society representatives, all of whom played a pivotal role in this collaborative strategic planning initiative. Chief Justice Molina outlined the plan’s ambitious goals, which include enhancing accessibility, transparency, reliability, and citizen-centered service within the justice system. The official launch is set for November 19 at 8:00 p.m., broadcasted via the Judicial Branch’s YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook channels. Molina emphasized that the plan was developed using the scenario planning methodology, a first for the Dominican Republic, previously implemented in countries like South Africa and Colombia. He described the initiative as “not merely a technical exercise but an ethical, institutional, and strategic act.” The Justice of the Future 2034 Plan aims to address systemic issues such as judicial delays, geographical and economic barriers, and the exclusion of vulnerable groups, fostering a more inclusive and participatory justice system. President Abinader lauded the plan as a national commitment and a cornerstone of democratic strengthening, stating, “This plan is not just a Judiciary initiative; it’s a commitment to a justice system that transforms lives and strengthens citizen confidence.”
