Public Prosecution Service Code of Conduct updated

As of September 1, 2016, the Public Prosecution Services of Curaçao, Sint Maarten and BES and the Office of the Attorney General have a new code of conduct. The updated code of conduct is more consistent with the developments within the Public Prosecution Service where an integrated approach, connection with society and a professional prosecution service are key. This code of conduct applies to all employees of the Public Prosecution Service and is a means to emphasize their responsibility. Integrity, professionalism, environment-oriented role, transparency and precision are the key concepts in the code of conduct and are therefore the guiding concepts for the actions of our employees. The Code of Conduct was approved by the Ministers of (Security and) Justice of Curaçao, Sint Maarten and the Netherlands and will take effect on September 1st. The Code of Conduct can be found on the website of the Public Prosecution Services thru the link: http://www.openbaarministerie.org/images/Gedragscode_OMCarib190816MinderKB.pdf (in Dutch).
