[27/01/2010] Countries where justice is seen as the most corrupt institution must deal with the problem urgently, the Assembly said in a resolution today. Judges, prosecutors and police should be recruited and promoted only on merit, paid a reasonable wage, and develop their own ethical standards, the Assembly said, debating a report by Kimmo Sasi (Finland, EPP/CD). The Council of Europe should also draft a model code of conduct for judicial officials.
