Deontology guidelines for Belgian Magistrates published |
|
|
|
|
The Belgian High Council for Justice/ Hoge Raad voor de Justitie/ Conseil Supérieur de la Justice in collaboration with the Advisory Council for Magistrates very recently published “Guidelines for Magistrates; principles, values and qualities”. The guidelines are inspired by and based on the ENCJ Judicial Ethics report. All Belgian Magistrates have been sent a hardcopy of the booklet. The guidelines are available in French and Dutch.
The booklet is dedicated to Nadia De Vroede, co-president of the High Council for Justice, who sadly passed away in July 2012 after losing a battle with a serious illness, just before publication of the guidelines. Nadia was a driving force behind the guideline and also actively contributed to the ENCJ Judicial Ethics Report.
