A/HRC/26/32 accountability to guide and frame the establishment of domestic systems of judicial accountability that are effective, objective, transparent and in line with international human rights law. VI. Recommendations 109. The Special Rapporteur makes the following recommendations with the aim of assisting States in developing and implementing appropriate and effective measures to establish judicial accountability mechanisms in line with the international principles of judicial independence and impartiality. Legal framework on judicial accountability 110. States should cooperate to develop and adopt international standards for judicial accountability. 111. States should consider enacting specific legislation at the domestic level establishing a comprehensive system of judicial accountability that is effective, objective, transparent and in line with their international human rights obligations. Forms of judicial accountability 112. A clear set of standards should be established on how to exercise supervisory powers of accountability, so that justice operators and the judicial institution are not held to account arbitrarily. 113. The relationship between the individual to be held accountable and the forum, body or institution to which he or she must respond also needs to be clearly defined. 114. States should also develop international guidelines on the application of judicial immunity. In accordance with those guidelines, States should establish domestic norms on judicial immunity in order to avoid abuses. Individual accountability 115. Individual accountability should be applied to all justice operators, that is, judges, prosecutors and lawyers at all levels of their respective careers. 116. Specific individual accountability mechanisms should include, but are not limited to, the obligation to write individual reasoned judgments or opinions in a language that is understandable to the beneficiaries of justice; the possibility of explaining personal views on the law and the constitution to the general public; and disclosing one’s financial and other assets through an official registration system. 117. Individual accountability should also encompass extrajudicial conduct, other permitted professional activities and the private lives of justice operators. 118. Justice operators must be provided with clear rules of conduct and ethics in order to ensure that they behave in accordance with accepted standards that are appropriate to their professional functions. Institutional accountability 119. The justice system in its entirety should be submitted to accountability mechanisms to ensure that it is functioning with independence, competence, objectivity and impartiality. 20
