[Podcast] The Cost of Delayed Justice

byИнститут за европска политика

When we discuss EU accession and Chapter 23, the conversation easily gets lost in institutional checklists and legal drafting. But what is the actual human cost of slow reform?

In this episode of our podcast series, we are joined by Dr. Rodrigo Nunez from The Hague Institute for Innovation of Law (HiiL). Drawing on HiiL’s extensive research and “Justice Journey” methodology, Dr. Nunez shares crucial insights into how unresolved legal issues disrupt everyday lives—and why the consequences of weak implementation are rarely just financial.

Key discussion points include:

    • The “Justice Journey”: Why we must shift our focus from courtrooms to citizens’ everyday legal problems.

    • The Hidden Costs: The psychological, social, and economic toll of delayed justice.

    • Translating the Technical: How civil society can turn complex Chapter 23 data into stories that resonate with the public.

    • A Lesson for the Western Balkans: The one critical shift regional policy-makers need to make today.
