About the Summit
The Forum of Superior Councils of Justice of the CPLP is an international cooperation organization that brings together the judicial management bodies of the CPLP countries and territories.
The term “Superior Council of Justice” refers to the highest judicial management bodies in each country, regardless of their specific national designation.
The Forum’s governing bodies include the Presidency, the Summit of Superior Councils of Justice of the CPLP, and the Permanent Commission of the Councils.
Angola was elected in November 2023 to preside over the Forum of Superior Councils of Justice of the CPLP for the 2024–2025 term.
The election took place during the 1st Summit of the Forum of Superior Councils of Justice of the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP), held in Cape Verde.
At that meeting—focused on the digital transformation of judicial systems in Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Portugal, São Tomé and Príncipe, and Timor-Leste—it was decided that the 2nd Summit of the Forum would be held in Angola, under the auspices of Angola’s Superior Council of the Judiciary, as President of the Forum for the 2024–2025 term, with Brazil serving as Vice President.
The Forum’s Presidency is rotating and biennial (two years).
