ROMA (ITALPRESS) – “The equality of all citizens before the law presupposes the independence of the judicial order as it requires the impartiality of its decisions, because only in this way can the equal dignity of persons be assured through the effective realization of the rights of each person. In this need lies the reason why the Constitution recognizes the guarantees of autonomy and independence, since the magistrates must not have any hierarchical meaning, as they must not be conditioned either by interests or by the will of other powers.” Thus the president of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, meeting the ordinary magistrates at the Quirinale in internship.
“The application of the laws is linked to jurisprudence interpretation in the light of the constitutional dictate and supranational conventions, which does not allow it to incur in questionable subjective readings. The quality of jurisdiction is for the judiciary an inderogable duty, on the respect of which the relationship of indispensable trust is founded that the country must be able to nourish in the administration of justice. The legal solidity of decisions is the guarantee of the authority of the Judicial Order,” he added. “Even for this reason it is essential that the decision be recognizable as the result of an interpretation in line with the law and consistent with judicial processing. In this way equal treatment is ensured between similar cases, thus giving concrete implementation to the constitutional principle of equality and the confidence of citizens in the judicial system is strengthened,” said the head of the State.
“Impartiality is a value to be cultivated also through the confidentiality of the processes or materials concerned. Otherwise, it would be a risk of cracking the credibility of the judicial order. The serious respect for professional ethics and sobriety in individual conduct, even in the different forms of communication, are part of fundamental principles and certainly fall within the scope of the motivation that has led to this challenging professional choice. It is a theme – that of communication, also that through social media – particularly delicate”, observes the head of the state. “The availability of new tools – with new methods and new effects both for the speed and breadth of the audience of the recipients – imposes urgent reflections, not so much to put prohibitions as to define deontological rules regarding the modalities of their exercise, also to avoid the risk that their improper use can compromise the prestige of the judicial function,” adds Mattarella.
