Judge/ Ilir Iseni is an accomplished legal professional and judicial educator from the Republic of North Macedonia, distinguished for his profound engagement in cyber law, digital justice, and the evolving intersection of law and technology. With over two decades of experience as a judge, legal reformer, and judicial trainer, he has played a pivotal role in modernizing the justice system through technology and shaping legal discourse in the digital age.
As Deputy Director of the Academy for Judges and Public Prosecutors, Iseni has spearheaded judicial training programs that incorporate contemporary themes such as remote trials, court digitization, AI in justice, and ethical use of digital platforms by judges and prosecutors. His training sessions on “Remote Trial – Good Practices and Standards for Fair Judgment Using Digital Technology” and “Judicial Ethics and Social Media Presence” are particularly notable for addressing the nuanced challenges posed by digital transformation in judicial processes.
He has been instrumental in the development and dissemination of manuals and guides aimed at facilitating the judiciary’s digital transition. Notably, his Manual for Remote Trial in Civil Procedure, published on the Debar Basic Court’s official website, reflects his proactive stance in promoting fair and effective digital adjudication procedures.
Iseni’s extensive participation in international judicial networks, including the CEELI Institute's Central & Eastern European Judicial Exchange Network, and his involvement in working groups on hate speech in media and internet spaces, demonstrate his commitment to regulating online behavior through legal mechanisms while safeguarding freedom of expression and fundamental rights.
His lectures at the Academy routinely integrate European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) jurisprudence with cyber law themes, especially regarding procedural rights and the legal implications of digital evidence. His master's thesis, titled “The Role of European Court of Human Rights in Determining the Scope of Human Rights,” and several of his published articles delve into topics such as Article 6 ECHR, Protocol No. 16, and the advisory jurisdiction of the ECtHR, with particular focus on digital-era implications.
Through his work, Iseni actively explores the judicial implications of algorithmic decision-making, ethics in the context of AI, and the standards of fairness in digital proceedings. His participation in the “Training for Trainers on Access to Justice for the LGBTI Community in Western Balkans” and “Training on Non-Discrimination, Anti-Gypsyism, and ECtHR Judgments” underscores his commitment to digital inclusion and access to justice for vulnerable groups in online and hybrid legal contexts.
As a speaker, author, and legal visionary, Ilir Iseni contributes to shaping a responsive legal system that meets the demands of an increasingly digitized society. His work reflects a deep belief that technology, when properly guided by legal principles and human rights standards, can enhance rather than endanger justice. His role in developing ethical, transparent, and inclusive frameworks for digital justice makes him one of the key figures in the field of cyber law in the Western Balkans region.
