Introducing a newsletter feature: Spotlight on Gender

Judges taking action on gender inequality are cultivating a strong, transparent culture of gender awareness amongst their colleagues and advancing public confidence in the courts as a place of fair treatment.

JIN ASEAN consulted judges in the region, collected best practices, and prepared seven Issue Briefs that will be published in the next seven issues of the JIN ASEAN newsletter. Pursuing judicial excellence through this combination of individual and peer learning, and institutional reflection is part of the ongoing efforts of judicial leaders to meaningfully address the needs of everyone appearing in their courts.

In this issue, we share the links between gender equality and judicial excellence to set the foundation for examining each gender equality issue.

Looking for the JIN ASEAN's Emerging Technologies Toolkit?

The Emerging Technologies and Judicial Integrity: Toolkit for Judges is a set of tools is designed to respond to JIN ASEAN's nine recommendations for judicial leadership on new technologies. Each tool can be used by a judge for self-study or management of their courtroom, whether in-person or virtual, or can be used by judiciaries or judges sitting on planning committees to bring judicial excellence priorities into the design, procurement, implementation, and evaluation of emerging court technologies.

Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam have joined JIN ASEAN with Lao PDR exploring membership. JIN ASEAN engages judges by conducting research, holding events and responding to the needs identified by those involved.

In 2018-19 JIN ASEAN worked closely with the International Consortium for Court Excellence to produce the Judicial Integrity Checklist, a self-assessment tool for courts, that now has also been integrated into the International Framework for Court Excellence Checklist.

JIN ASEAN has also engaged the judiciary on comparative responses to the pandemic and has participated in global discussions about judicial integrity. JIN ASEAN cooperates with the UNODC’s Global Judicial Integrity Network. The activities of the JIN ASEAN are supported by the U.S. State Department through INL and the UK Government ASEAN Economic Reform Programme through the FairBiz project.
