SHOULD THE JUDICIAL INSPECTION BODY CARE ABOUT JUDICIAL CORRUPTION? THE CASES OF MOLDOVA AND ROMANIA

Abstract

The present paper contains arguments referring to the fact that the Judicial Inspection, as a body with attributions of analysis, verification and control in particular areas of manifestation of Justice and exponent of the judicial self-government, should acquire the status of authority with express competencies in the fight against judicial corruption. Such an approach reflects the essence of good judicial self-government and of the Rule of Law, where Human Rights and Freedoms are Fundamental Values. In order to achieve this purpose, the necessity to strengthen the functional status of the judicial inspection body is argued and the ways of enhancing the capacities of the judicial self-government in preventing judicial corruption are generalized.
