The Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) of the International Criminal Court (ICC) has adopted a Code of Conduct for the OTP.  The Code sets "minimum standards of conduct applicable to all Members of the [OTP]" as a supplement to the general standards of conduct promulgated in other ICC Codes of Conduct and Staff Regulations.  The Code includes: standards of conduct such as independence, impartiality, and confidentiality; specific duties such as objective truth-seeking and disclosure; and working relations such as equal treatment, non-discrimination and non-harassment.  The Code entered into force on September 5, 2013, and may be amended by referral to the Legal Advisory Section and consideration of the Prosecutor.
