Turkey's Constitutional Court to Review Employment Law

The Constitutional Court in North Macedonia will evaluate the constitutionality of the 'balancer' employment practice that limits job access based on community membership, with a session scheduled for September 18. This practice, originating from the Ohrid Framework Agreement in 2001, aims to ensure fair representation of ethnic communities in public administration. Meanwhile, in the U.S., a significant shift is occurring within the judiciary, as critics argue that federal agencies wield excessive power and that aging judges resist retirement, raising calls for term limits. President Biden's proposal for 18-year term limits for Supreme Court justices has gained support, reflecting public frustration with the lack of generational turnover in the judiciary. Additionally, Malta's Constitutional Court, tasked with interpreting constitutional consistency, faces limitations as it cannot revoke laws deemed unconstitutional, leaving the power to do so solely with parliament. These developments highlight ongoing debates around judicial reform, representation, and the balance of power within government structures.
