Integritatea judiciară – deziderat al sistemului judecătoresc din Republica Moldova

Abstract

Following the research on judicial integrity in the Republic of Moldova, several relevant conclusions were outlined. The evaluation of the regulatory framework and practices in comparison with international standards revealed some gaps and inconsistencies. Key institutions such as the Superior Council of Magistracy and the Superior Council of Prosecutors play an important role but require adjustments regarding periodic evaluations and resignation criteria. Procedures for evaluating the professional performance of judges and prosecutors should be more transparent and continue to promote the principles of integrity. Additionally, there was identified a need to build trust between civil society and the judicial system. Recommendations include revising legislation, introducing clear and transparent evaluation criteria, and enhancing dialogue between judicial institutions and civil society to strengthen integrity in justice.
