Abstract
The code is designed to promote a culture of ethics and integrity within the institution, ensuring that it is efficient, modern, and trustworthy in its role as a public service provider. The code is based on the institution's mission to formulate and execute public policies that facilitate access to justice, protect human rights, and provide legal advice and defense to the state. The vision is to be recognized by society as a modern, efficient, and trustworthy institution that promotes the respect of human rights and defends the interests of the state. The code is built on four core values: commitment, honesty, responsibility, and a vocation of service. Commitment involves being proactive, efficient, and persevering in fulfilling one's role and objectives. Honesty requires acting with transparency, probity, rectitude, and coherence, and managing resources in a way that avoids corruption or unfair practices. Responsibility involves being diligent in fulfilling one's duties and assuming the consequences of one's actions, without making excuses. A vocation of service implies a permanent disposition to provide timely and diligent attention to the needs and requirements of citizens and colleagues. The code establishes several principles, including the prohibition of corruption, nepotism, and favoritism, as well as the obligation to act with integrity, transparency, and accountability. It also outlines the rights and duties of employees, including the right to a safe and healthy work environment, the duty to respect the rights and dignity of others, and the obligation to report any instances of misconduct or corruption. The code also establishes a system of consequences for employees who fail to comply with its principles and provisions. This includes disciplinary measures, such as warnings, suspensions, and terminations, as well as administrative sanctions, such as fines and penalties. The code is applicable to all employees of the Ministerio de Justicia y Derechos Humanos, including permanent and temporary staff, contractors, and consultants. It is also applicable to all activities and operations of the institution, including its relationships with citizens, other government agencies, and external organizations. The code is a key component of the institution's model of institutional integrity, which aims to promote a culture of ethics and integrity within the institution. It is designed to contribute to the effective and efficient fulfillment of the institution's mission and vision, and to promote the respect of human rights and the rule of law. The code is also a reflection of the institution's commitment to transparency, accountability, and good governance. It is a tool for promoting a culture of ethics and integrity within the institution, and for ensuring that its employees act with integrity, transparency, and accountability in the performance of their duties. In conclusion, the Code of Conduct of the Ministerio de Justicia y Derechos Humanos is a comprehensive and robust framework for promoting a culture of ethics and integrity within the institution. It outlines the principles, rights, duties, and prohibitions that must guide the behavior of employees, and establishes a system of consequences for those who fail to comply with its provisions. The code is a key component of the institution's model of institutional integrity, and is designed to promote a culture of ethics and integrity within the institution.
