Managerial principles
194. The principles that guide the internal management of the Public Prosecution Service
and all its staff are:
• Commitment to justice and human rights. All officials in the Service shall promote
and follow the principles of plural justice with a focus on human rights
• Interculturalism. Prosecutors shall ensure equal treatment of all persons in
performing their duties, recognizing and respecting cultural differences and other
perspectives
• Gender and generational equality
• Results-based management
• Organizational culture and climate
• Technological modernization
• Prosecution, administrative and forensic career path. Public servants employed in
the Service shall follow an established career path, providing them with security and
development opportunities based on the integrity and competence they show
195. With respect to paragraph 31 of the report on the training of justice officials (for the
correct application and interpretation of regulations concerning non-custodial sentences and
increased use of alternative measures on speeding up proceedings so as to reduce the
number of persons in pretrial detention and on the limited application, substantiated by the
judicial authorities, of pretrial detention), the National School for Prosecutors, in its first
programme on initial training for entry to the prosecution service, developed a module on
human rights for prosecutors. The modular structure of the course covers areas of
performance and problematic issues, providing a theoretical basis for understanding the
conceptual plurality of the term human rights and the problems addressed in this field.
196. The School’s programme also deals with the binding nature of human rights at the
internal level, including the obligation for prosecutors to respect, protect and guarantee
human rights in accordance with national law and international human rights law, which are
very useful in the context of exercising public criminal action.
197.
The following learning units are also available:
• Learning unit V on human rights protected by international instruments
• Learning unit VI on the right to a fair trial and due process
• Learning unit VIII on specific rights and rights holders
198. The part-distant learning model for the initial training programme for entry to the
prosecution service takes account of the responsibility and potential of the trainees and
includes self-learning activities based around group tutorials.
