The Bangalore Principles of Judicial Conduct establish ethical standards for judges, emphasizing six core values: Independence, Impartiality, Integrity, Propriety, Equality, and Competence and Diligence.

These principles were articulated in the Bangalore Code of Judicial Conduct, which was drafted in 2001 for the Judicial Group on Strengthening Judicial Integrity and presented at the Round Table Meeting of Chief Justices in November 2002. United Nations Economic and Social Council Resolution 23 encourages Member States’ judiciaries to implement these principles.
