The Regional Judicial Conference on Ethics and Judicial well-being which was held in Nauru in July 2024, concluded with the landmark adoption of the Declaration on Judicial Well-Being, a vital step in addressing the pressing well-being concerns of judicial officers worldwide. The three-day event (24 to 26 July) , organized by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in partnership with the Nauru Judiciary and supported by the Department of Justice of Nauru, brought together judicial leaders and stakeholders from across the Pacific region.
The Declaration on Judicial Well-Being, drafted by nearly 20 judicial leaders and other stakeholders from around the world, responds to the unprecedented challenges faced by judiciaries in the 21st century. It calls for collective attention to the physical, mental, emotional, and psychological health of judges, emphasizing the principles of independence, impartiality, integrity, propriety, competence, and diligence as outlined in the Bangalore Principles of Judicial Conduct. During the first meeting of the drafting committee the Chief Justice Sykes of Jamaica set the tone and underscored the importance of this initiative, stating, “The most important asset for a court is a healthy judge.”
