A/HRC/33/39 with international human rights law. The structural concerns highlighted by human rights mechanisms, however, remained valid. 30. The Ministry of Justice continued its efforts to implement the three organic “fundamental laws” on the judiciary adopted in 2014. In accordance with the law on the organization and functioning of the courts, an administrative unit was established in each court, officially separating administrative from adjudicative duties. OHCHR and the Ministry jointly organized a national conference on court administration and case management in December, which addressed the current status of implementation of the law and served as a forum for discussion on key reform issues among judges, prosecutors and court administrators. The issues raised by the participants included the general lack of understanding of the existing disciplinary proceedings. 31. OHCHR and the Supreme Council of Magistracy organized regional workshops in March, May and June 2016 to disseminate the Code of Ethics for Judges and Prosecutors (2007). The three workshops convened 264 judges and prosecutors from the Supreme Court, the Appeal Court and all provincial and municipal courts of first instance. With the last workshop to be held in August 2016, all judges and prosecutors country-wide will have been exposed to the Code of Ethics. 32. The Ministry of Justice took important steps to increase the salaries of judges and prosecutors in an effort to combat corruption. Towards that end, it invited the AntiCorruption Unit to monitor the entrance exams to the Royal Academy of Judicial Professions. OHCHR was invited by the Unit to provide technical assistance in drafting whistleblower and witness protection legislation. Consultations are being held with the Ministry of Justice on the undertaking of a joint study on judicial integrity, to be conducted in 2016 and 2017, subject to funding. The aim of the study would be to go beyond perception surveys by informing on the rules, procedures and practices that affect judicial integrity, measuring the incidence of corruption in the judicial sector, and making recommendations to strengthen integrity. 33. OHCHR supported the roll-out of an expanded criminal case database in six courts of first instance in 2015, although funding constraints prevented its installation in additional courts in 2016. The database was designed to address blockages in the flow of communication regarding court proceedings, which affects, inter alia, the enforcement of court decisions. OHCHR provided a technical expert to design the database and to train dedicated staff from the Ministry of Justice and the courts to enter data and to maintain the database. While the database alone cannot solve all problems related to access to information on court cases, it has proven to be a significant improvement over the previous paper-based method of recording court case developments. It has strengthened the ability of beneficiary courts to store and search case documents, to generate case reports and regular statistics, and to provide such information to the parties in court cases. 34. Another important initiative undertaken by the Ministry of Justice was the establishment of a working group to revise the Criminal Code and the Code of Criminal Procedure. OHCHR compiled and submitted the recommendations for amendments to the two laws made at several round tables and conferences organized by OHCHR in previous years. 35. OHCHR continued to serve as the donor partner facilitator of the technical working group on legal and judicial reform, one of the 19 sectoral working groups by means of which the Government and donor partners coordinate international assistance. OHCHR worked with the Ministry of Justice, which serves as the governmental chair of the working group, in conducting the annual revision of the joint monitoring indicators on the judicial sector, with the aim of ensuring that progress is adequately measured and that donor initiatives are in line with key government priorities. 7
