Judiciary Accountability

Judiciary accountability refers to the ways in which judges and courts are held responsible for their actions and decisions. It ensures that judges act ethically, follow laws, and maintain integrity in their rulings. Mechanisms for accountability include judicial review, adherence to codes of conduct, transparency, and oversight by higher courts or oversight bodies. This process helps maintain public trust, ensures justice is fairly administered, and prevents abuse of power, all while respecting judicial independence. Ultimately, accountability balances the authority of courts with the need for responsible and fair judicial conduct.
