The Council of State can no longer be criticized for not being a real judge. Today, the Higher Assembly is a court composed of independent and impartial magistrates and which can act speedily. With the power to rule in emergency proceeding, it no longer allows the administration to hide behind the law when the latter is not conform to international and European law; besides, it no longer rules automatically in favor of the administration when an important public project is at stake. Lastly, it makes sure that its rulings are effectively and correctly enforced. It should be mentioned that, without such improvements, the legitimacy, and even the very existence of the Council of State would have been imperiled.
