Venezuela NGO: TSJ Law Reform Promulgation Delayed, Magistrate Change Stalled

Venezuelan NGO Acceso a la Justicia reports that the legal deadline to publish the reform of the Organic Law of the Supreme Court (Lotsj) in the Official Gazette has passed, delaying the process to change magistrates. The reform, passed by the 2025 National Assembly on September 1, 2026, remains unpublished, indicating a potential political or procedural hold-up. This delay affects judicial independence and the composition of Venezuela's highest court, with implications for rule of law and political stability.
