The Supreme Judicial Council will hold from February 25-27 the second high-level meeting of the Global Judicial Integrity Network.
Established in April 2018, the Global Judicial Integrity Network is open to judiciaries and a broad range of individuals and institutions, including judges, magistrates, members of judicial councils, court personnel, judicial associations, and other stakeholders, as well as relevant international organisations.
Qatar provides technical and financial support to the initiative, while the United Nations enriches it by operating and promoting it.
The network aims to promote peer learning and support activities, facilitate access to relevant tools and resources related to judicial integrity, and support the further development and effective implementation of principles of judicial conduct and prevent corruption within the justice system.
The network has benefited 1,488 judges worldwide through its programmes.
Vice-president of the court of cassation and Head of the Judicial Inspections Department Abdullah al-Saadi said in a press conference held to discuss the event that 50 judges from across the world will take part in the meeting.
He added that the meeting will likely yield a Doha declaration on judicial integrity, which builds on the progress made in the Bangalore Principles of Judicial Conduct created in 2003.
