The initiative aims to strengthen transparency and public access to jurisprudence while ensuring robust protection of personal data and fundamental rights.

The system will enable the automatic redaction of sensitive data in judicial decisions, reducing risks linked to the exposure of personal information, particularly for vulnerable groups such as women, minors, survivors of gender-based violence and marginalised communities.

The Supreme Court will provide legal expertise at all stages of the project, from design to implementation, and will play a leading role in establishing standards for the ethical and responsible use of technology in the justice system.

Supreme Court President Sokol Sadushi said the cooperation with UNDP had entered the implementation phase.

“This project marks an important moment in our efforts to build a justice system that is more transparent, more efficient and better protected from the risks associated with the exposure of personal data,” Sadushi said, adding that the court remained committed to expanding cooperation on future innovation projects aimed at strengthening the rule of law.

UNDP Resident Representative in Albania Randi Davis said the agreement reflected a shared vision of a justice system that embraces innovation while safeguarding fundamental rights and privacy.

The project will initially be rolled out at the Supreme Court level with the aim of developing a proof of concept that could later be extended across the wider judicial system. Funded by UNDP, the initiative is expected to be implemented over a one-year period.

Through the agreement, the Supreme Court and UNDP reaffirmed their commitment to the ethical use of technology to enhance accountability, protect privacy and ensure more equal access to justice.
