"If a person earns €10,000 a year and spends €20,000 a year, then they have to explain themselves": Willem Brouwer, on the ZdCe Podcast

The newest member of the Judicial Vetting Commission shares his international experience in the assessment of judges and prosecutors. Joined the Commission in July, Willem Brouwer has already participated in the hearings.

As a lawyer and judge, Willem Brouwer shares his experience of being an international observer in the evaluation process of judges and prosecutors in Albania. He discusses the differences and similarities compared to the vetting process in the Republic of Moldova, as well as the lessons that should be learned.

In the interview, you will learn why Willem Brouwer believes that "trust builds slowly but departs quickly," and why he thinks "it would be wise for ethics and integrity to be taught in schools."
