Securing access to Justice for all
Developments across Europe show that these are challenging times for the Justice Systems and the Judiciaries.
The Rule of Law is at the core of the European Union. It is one of the fundamental values upon which the EU is founded, together with democracy and fundamental rights.
More than ever the Judiciaries need to stand together to command respect for the role and position of the Judiciary. Councils for the Judiciary have a pivotal role in this regard.
The ENCJ unites the Councils and is of vital importance to the further development of judiciaries in Europe.
Diversity
Recognising that all legal systems are di fferent and are vested in their own legal tradition, the ENCJ respects the diversity of the judicial systems of its members subject to the Rule of Law.
Equality and mutual respect
Recognising that mutual respect and equality are fundamental to full cooperation within the ENCJ.
Collaboration
Recognising that effective and responsive involvement requires the input of all members, the ENCJ is committed to inspiring dialogue, promoting consultation, building consensus and engaging diverse stakeholders in a participatory way.
