The independence and the accountability of Judges are usually seen to be antithetical to each other, creating perceived tension between them. However, States have adopted different measures in striking a balance between these two concepts.
This work utilises different primary, secondary and tertiary sources in discussing some of the ways States have attempted to strike the appropriate balance between the two concepts. It concludes that if the aims of employing both concepts are rightly placed, both concepts will not be perceived as antithetical but complementary to each other.
It thus, recommends that States should ensure they adopt only measures that promote the aim of the independence and accountability of judges, which is, summarily, enhancing public respect for the judiciary and upholding the confidence of the public in the judicial system
