Resolution

Concerning the work of Presidents and officials of associations of judges

The right of judges to associate is granted by many international documents. To make this guarantee effective the associations must have the possibility to act freely and without pressure.

Therefore, Presidents and other officials of judges‘ associations should not be subject to any pressure, which could reflect on his/her career, evaluation of work or in disciplinary matters due to their functions in the association be it from non­judicial authorities or be it from judicial authorities.

In consequence all authorities should respect these necessities and provide an environment, which ensures the possibility of associations and their officials to act freely.
