Ethics Commissions

Ethics commissions are independent bodies that oversee and enforce ethical standards in public service, often within government agencies. They ensure that officials and employees act with integrity, transparency, and accountability. The commissions investigate allegations of misconduct, provide guidance on ethical practices, and often establish rules to prevent conflicts of interest. Their goal is to maintain public trust by ensuring that those in power adhere to moral principles in their decision-making and actions, thereby promoting fairness and adherence to the law.
