The independence of the judiciary is a crucial aspect of any modern political system. In the Arab world, however, there are few studies investigating this issue. This paper aims to shed light on the current state of judicial independence in the Arab world. It concentrates on two significant institutions: institutions of judicial review and high judicial councils. The first is essential for guaranteeing the supremacy of the constitution, while the second is essential for the administration of justice. Unfortunately, while the establishment of these institutions is typically viewed as a sign of political development, this has not been the case in the context of post-colonial Arab states. In most instances, political regimes have attempted to create institutions that imitate those of democracies without permitting the independence required to carry out their intended functions. Numerous Arab governments have endeavored to subjugate high judicial councils and institutions of judicial review to their authority. This is most evident in the executive branch's unwillingness to abdicate control over such institutions.
