4/8 למרות שהשפה דיפלומטית, הנשיאה יותר מרומזת כי חלקים ב״רפורמה המשפטית״ המוצעת אינם מתיישבים עם עקרונות בסיסיים של דמוקרטיה, שלטון חוק והגנה על זכויות אדם – למשל, פסקת התגברות, פוליטיזציה של הליך מינוי השופטים וצמצום משמעותי של היקף הביקורת השיפוטית על חקיקה.

New decision by
@UNHumanRights
Committee: by denying access to essential health services, Canada discriminated against migrant family w/o regular immigration status

49
2/8 ההודעה מדגישה שלוש נקודות: 1) מדינה דמוקרטית המכבדת את שלטון החוק ואת זכויות האדם צריכה לאפשר ביקורת שיפוטית על חקיקה על-ידי בתי משפט עצמאיים
2) בתי משפט אלה צריכים לפעול ללא התערבות פוליטית בעבודתם, במיוחד באשר להרכבם
3

48
6/8 קיימת גם אפשרות כי ועדת ונציה תחבר, בהמשך, חוות דעת מפורטת על הרפורמות בישראל. חוות דעת שכזו אינה מחייבת מבחינה משפטית, אך נחשבת כ״תו תקן״ בינלאומי לגבי חוסנן הדמוקרטי של המדינות החברות בוועדה (ישראל הצטרפה לוועדה בשנת 2008).

47
8/8 יש לציין, כי הצהרות נשיאותיות מטעם ועדת ונציה אינן מאורע שכיח. ההצהרה המתייחסת לישראל הנה ההצהרה היחידה שניתנה השנה, ובשנה שעברה ניתנו בסה״כ חמש הצהרות - 2 ביחס לרוסיה (בקשר לפלישה לאוקראיינה), 2 בקשר למונטנגרו ואחת בקשר לרפובליקה המרכז אפריקאית.
