Guidelines on Judicial Vetting

Written by judges and other legal experts in their respective countries, the Guidelines not only provide a clear discussion of when judicial vetting is appropriate, but also concrete recommendations on how to implement the vetting process when needed. 

The Guidelines back up their recommendations with carefully researched analysis of relevant international law and a detailed comparative look at how countries in the region have sought to meet this challenge while respecting judicial independence and fundamental rights. In an era when judicial integrity has been called into question through allegations of corruption, these Guidelines strike a thoughtful balance on how to restore the public’s trust.
