Judiciary › Code of Judicial Conduct
This page is reserved for a companion Code of Judicial Conduct for the Supreme Court of Eritrea and the wider judiciary. The Code should state the ethical standards that protect judicial independence, public confidence, impartiality, and disciplined judicial behaviour.
Purpose
A judicial conduct code should guide judges in the daily choices that affect public trust: how they behave in court, how they avoid conflicts of interest, and how they preserve independence from political, personal, financial, or social pressure.
Recommended Coverage
- Judicial independence, integrity, impartiality, and public confidence.
- Extrajudicial activities and limits on political or public advocacy.
- Financial interests, gifts, conflicts of interest, and disclosure duties.
- Recusal principles and procedures for potential bias or appearance of bias.
- Standards of judicial behaviour in court, in writing, online, and in public life.
Working Draft Area
Draft provisions, expert comments, comparative examples, and proposed revisions may be posted here as the Code is developed.
