Judges' Retirement Age Controversy
The JVP Government's proposal to raise the retirement age of judges has sparked significant domestic and international criticism. Multiple international organizations and countries have expressed concerns about the policy's implications.
Nothing says "we heard your concerns about judicial independence" like making judges work until they're too tired to remember what justice is. Meanwhile the EU, UN, and basically everyone with a Twitter account is typing furiously—truly the international equivalent of a group chat that won't stop pinging.
