Elements of a European Statute of Magistracy
On January 16th 1993, in Palermo, Italy, the associated magistrates of Medel have adopted the « Elements of a European Statute of Magistracy». This text expresses the conviction that a democratic, independent and transparent judiciary constitutes an essential element of the Rule of Law: The Palermo Declaration: Elements of a European Statute of Magistracy.
Today, these principles are
mainly dedicated, in the Council of Europe's European Charter on the Statute for Judges, to the development MEDEL has contributed to.
In 2007, the european consultative council of judges initiated a work on the councils of the judiciary.
