US Deputy Secretary of State questions independent prosecutors

Original: . @DeputySecState : Sometimes, the cure is worse than the disease. Some countries have tried to avoid the politicization

US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau argued that "sometimes, the cure is worse than the disease" when countries move investigative and prosecutorial bodies out of the Executive Branch and label them "independent" to avoid politicization. Writing as a US-trained lawyer, he suggested such structural reforms may not deliver the impartial justice they promise, drawing attention to ongoing debates over judicial independence and political interference.

Why now: Debates over politicization of justice and prosecutorial independence are prominent in US and international politics right now.
