Egypt's judicial council to oversee referendum despite calls for boycott


 
Egypt's supreme judicial council will oversee a mid-December referendum on the draft constitution, despite calls for a boycott from other parts of the judiciary.

Even though the council is the highest judicial body, its declaration puts it on a collision course with the Judges Club, a broader body that counts the majority of Egypt's judges among its members.

The Judges Club said its members would not supervise the referendum – mandated by law – until a constitutional decree issued by the president, Mohamed Morsi, which granted him immunity from judicial oversight was revoked.



However, it is the council that is the official representative of the judiciary, the Judges Club being an unofficial body, and therefore the 15 December referendum on the constitution will take place with judicial supervision.

"The Judges Club does not speak for the Egyptian judiciary, but the council does, but this does show the deep divisions amongst the judiciary because the council members are also members of the Judges Club," said Amr Fathy of the Arab Centre for Judicial Independence.
