Our Principles

1) Integrity in Action 
Justice demands unwavering integrity from all participants in the legal system. This commitment to ethical conduct ensures fairness in the pursuit of justice. Misconduct cannot be tolerated because it undermines trust in our system of justice.
2) Proportionality and Context 
Legal processes and punishments should be proportionate and account for individual circumstance and mitigating factors. This guarantees fairness and prevents undue harm to those most vulnerable.
3) Accountability and Remedy 
Misconduct must be met with full accountability and effective remedy. Every wrong should have a path to redress in order to guarantee that no one is above the law.
4) Restoration and Prevention 
True justice goes beyond merely remedying past wrongs, and proactively prevents future harm. Addressing systemic issues and promoting fairness are key to prevent misconduct and ensure a just system for all.
5) Transparency and Trust 
Transparency in law enforcement and judicial processes is essential to build and maintain public trust. Open actions and decisions ensure that justice is not only done but is seen to be done, fostering accountability.
6) Fairness in Application and Outcome 
Justice requires that the law be applied fairly to all, irrespective of background or circumstances. This includes striving for outcomes that address systemic disparities, ensuring that everyone has equal access to justice and that fairness prevails in both process and result.
