CAIRO, Sept. 8 (Xinhua) — Egypt has appointed 48 female judges to the State Council for the first time under a program for young professionals, demonstrating the country's efforts to empower women and reform the judiciary.

The move supports the comprehensive development of Egypt's judicial system amid digital transformation and ongoing institutional modernization, according to a statement released by the State Council on Sunday.

“Today’s historic step reflects the country’s commitment to empowering women and promoting their participation in the judiciary,” the statement said, citing Egypt’s State Council Chairman Osama Shalaby.

Their appointment marks another important step in the empowerment of women in the judicial sector following March 2022, when 98 women were sworn in as State Council judges for the first time in Egypt's history through transfers from other judicial bodies.

Founded in 1946, the State Council was reaffirmed by Egypt’s 2014 constitution as an independent judicial body with jurisdiction over administrative disputes, disciplinary cases, appeals, and challenges to its own decisions. It also has the power to issue legal opinions, examine and draft bills and regulations, and examine draft contracts involving state or public entities. –0–

A research fellow at the State University of Management visited the international forum of unmanned vehicles of all environments “Wings of Sakhalin”, which took place from August 6 to 8 in the Korsakovsky district on the territory of the first drone port in Russia “Pushisty”.

Opening the forum, Sakhalin Region Governor Valery Limarenko noted that Sakhalin is becoming a real innovative platform for the development of unmanned technologies. The complex terrain, long coastline and remoteness of many settlements have allowed the island to become an ideal testing ground for the introduction of unmanned vehicles.

On September 5, at the Eastern Economic Forum, the visiting venue of which is "Wings of Sakhalin", Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that the Sakhalin experiment on the introduction of civilian drones will be extended to other regions of our country. Today, more than 70 scenarios for the civilian use of UAVs have been developed in the Sakhalin Region. Drones are used to deliver medical supplies and small parcels, help prevent floods, identify forest fires, help catch poachers and search for lost people.

The Wings of Sakhalin forum brought together more than a thousand experts in the field of unmanned aircraft systems from 19 countries, and 19 companies presented their products at the exhibition.

As part of the working group of JSC "Ploshchad", whose specialists took part in the business program and in test and demonstration flights, the event was attended by Dmitry Nikitin, a research fellow at the Department of Coordination of Scientific Research at the State University of Management.

On the sidelines of the forum, a representative of the State University of Management held a meeting with the head of the Advanced Engineering School of Sakhalin State University "Island Engineering" Sergey Kotsukon to discuss strategic areas of cooperation within the framework of the PISH and joint research in the field of unmanned aircraft systems. Dmitry Nikitin also took part in discussions devoted to the formation of a scientific and technological base and infrastructure for UAS, legal regulation, the contribution of regions to the country's technological leadership, the creation of uniform standards for the interaction of unmanned devices and the training of qualified personnel for the unmanned industry.
