Abstract. This article
deals with current situation relating to the regulation of ethical rules within
international judiciary.Unlikely of the domestic judicairies having informal
international network of judges capable elaborate a number of non-binding
documents relating to the conduct of judges (Bangelore principles) the situation
in international judiciary is different.Due to the lack of such network only
Study Group of International Law Association attempted to prepare set of
principles relating exclusively to the judicial ethic of the judges of
international courts and tribunals (Burgh House Principles on the Independence
of the Judiciary).Apart from four international tribunals so far adopted their
own ethical codes namely – European Court of Justice (first Code of Conduct of
2007 replaced in 2016 by the new Code),European Court of Human Rights (Resolution
on Judicial Ethic-2008) Carribean Court of Justice (Code of Judicial Conduct)
and International Criminal Court (Code of Judicial Ethics-2004).As a basic, all
ethical codes emphasized the principles of independence and impartiality of
international judges and to certain extent the deal also with the principles
governing the external activities of judges and their conduct relating to the
participants of judicial proceedings.The main difference among them concerns the
existence and availability of the procedural mechanism allowing to object the
alleged violations of the ethical principles by the members of international
courts.
Key words: ehical
rules in the international judiciary, lack of general ethical code for

their brief characteristics
