Evaluarea integrității etice a candidaților la funcția de judecător al curții supreme de justiție: aspecte de [in]securitate juridică (Partea a II-a) [Articol]

Abstract

This article provides a detailed analysis of the evaluation of the ethical integrity of candidates for the position of judge at the Supreme Court of Justice, highlighting the issues of legal [in]security arising from the regulation of the evaluation procedure. In this regard, the quality of the applicable legal framework – Law No. 65/2023 – is examined, along with its relevance in ensuring an objective, fair, and equitable assessment of the ethical integrity of candidates (non-judges and non-prosecutors). Ultimately, it is found that the legal deficiencies of Law No. 65/2023 have seriously compromised the vetting procedure and the legal security of the evaluated subjects, which is unacceptable and incompatible with the principles of the rule of law. Due to the complexity of the investigated subject, it has been structured into several parts, with the present article constituting the second part.
