A lesson in democracy and ethics - Dramane Diarra - Bog

Generally speaking, compliance with the ethical obligations defined in this Code should lead members of the judiciary to refer to a general principle of prudence in order to avoid breaching the obligations of their position.Beyond this principle of prudence, the magistrate's ethical obligations cannot becannot be confined to the prevention of misconduct. The magistrate's code of ethics must, first and foremost, be driven by a concern for the independence and quality of justice, for which it is the foundation.The Incompatibilities, Prohibitions and Duties of the Magistrate lined up by the rapporteur without demonstrating to what they are linked, i.e. the exercise of the judicial function, have just been studied in these values of the magistrate evoked in the French code of ethics.
