It emphasizes that judges should act honestly, avoid conflicts of interest, uphold the dignity of the judiciary, and ensure that their decisions are based solely on law and facts. These ethics promote public confidence in the judicial system by ensuring that judges conduct themselves with professionalism, remain impartial, and avoid any behavior that could undermine trust in their role as impartial arbiters of justice.
