Bajram Curri, June 8, 2023
High Inspector of Justice Artur Metani became part of the educational activity of the students of “Besëlidhja e Malësisë” school, in the city of Bajram Curri.
The activity is part of the objective of the High Inspector of Justice Office to promote legal education even in pre-university education, a process that has begun in the lecture halls of law students of public universities throughout the country.
The 9th grade students of this school, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, had prepared a legal case, which they debated divided into two groups, about the influences of social status versus the rights in court. Playing roles of debaters, students presented arguments on legal, moral, ethical and practical law and the lessons learned, that doing the right thing is the best choice, even when there are opportunities for unfair advantages and profits.
Congratulating the students on their preparation, strong arguments and dynamic debate, the High Inspector of Justice answered their questions on the HIJ work and the society’s contribution to the rule of law. Mr. Metani singled out the conclusion of the debate, precisely the education on the fight against any injustice and the perseverance to keep justice independent, without improper influences, as a challenging process for every society as well as a civic duty. “Justice, before a being a document or law read and applied by the judge and prosecutor, is first of all a social value”, – said the High Inspector of Justice. “If you are honest and give your contribution to a society with a culture of justice, then you and the society will have a strong reaction against injustices. When you will not accept to benefit unjustly from something undeserved, then you will undoubtedly fight, so that others cannot benefit from things that do not belong to them as well.”
Mr. Metani, accompanied by members of the HIJ Office, visited the classroom-museum of the school and talked with the teaching staff about the HIJ work as well as exchanging views and ideas about educating school students with the culture of law and civic engagement against injustice.
During his visit, the High Inspector of Justice also had an informal meeting with the local authorities, where they discussed the prospects of the city’s development and the opportunities offered to young people.
