The selection of justices of the Supreme Court is a two-step process. (...) The participants recommended that a specific legal mechanism should be defined in the short term for each step of the selection process, with precise, motivated selection criteria and on the basis of the profile of the civil servant sought, and that transparent selection processes with public participation should be introduced. (...) Its purpose is to establish a ranking within the judicial service so as to be able to select persons for promotion and implement a selection system based on a competitive examination, beginning with magistrates’ courts.

The Special Rapporteur stresses that the procedure followed for the selection and appointment of candidates to the national anti-corruption jurisdiction in 2016 represents a good practice that could be used in the future for the selection and appointment of all judges. The selection process was carried out in accordance with a selection protocol adopted by the judicial branch, which indicated the requirements that candidates had to meet and the modalities for setting up the commission for the selection of candidates. (...) According to some interlocutors, the elaboration of those rules represents a good practice that could be followed for future selection processes. Nevertheless, he notes with concern that that selection process fell short of international standards in several aspects. 59.

Agenda item 7: Selection of the host country of the Fund DECISION B.02-12/04 The Board: (a) Decided by consensus to select Songdo, Incheon City, Republic of Korea, as the host city of the Fund; (b) Agreed to present this decision for endorsement to the Conference of the Parties (COP) of the UNFCCC at its eighteenth session.

The Special Rapporteur is concerned that the lack of appropriate selection criteria and procedures facilitates interference from political parties and economic groups in the selection process. 45. (...) Their appointment consists of two distinct phases: the “pre-selection” and the selection. The pre-selection aims at preparing the list of candidates that the National Council of the Judiciary is required to present to the Legislative Assembly. (...) The selection criteria for these posts are defined in the Constitution.

The Sub-Committee (“SCA”) notes the following:  While the NHRC considers and proposes new members, the existing legislative process refers to the selection of new members by the Emir. The existing legislation should establish a clear, transparent and pluralistic nomination process. The SCA refers to General Observation 2.1 “Ensuring pluralism” and General Observation 2.2 “Selection and appointment of the governing body”.  There is no legislative provision guaranteeing the immunity of NHRC members for actions undertaken in their official capacity. (...) The SCA refers to General Observation 2.2 “Selection and appointment of the governing body” and emphasizes the importance that the selection and appointment process involves; a transparent process; broad consultation through the selection and appointment process; advertising vacancies broadly; maximizing the number of potential candidates from a wide range of societal groups; and selecting members to serve in their own individual capacity rather than on behalf of the organization they represent
