Over 100 civil society applicants seek seats on Venezuela judicial nominations committee

Venezuela's Judicial Nominations Committee received more than 100 civil society applications by the Friday deadline, from which 12 will be selected to join 11 deputies in vetting judicial candidates. The process is part of the country's ongoing judicial overhaul, but the selection's transparency and political influence remain uncertain. This development matters as it shapes the composition of a body critical to judicial independence in Venezuela.
