URGENCY OF THE ETHICS COURT IN ENFORCEMENT CODE OF ETHICS FOR PROFESSION IN INDONESIA

Abstract

The author offers that in the future it is necessary to improve the enforcement of the professional code of ethics through the establishment of the Ethics Court. Through the existence of an Ethics Court, the enforcement of the code of ethics is carried out by using judicial principles, starting from the principles of openness, imparsility, independence, accountability, providing a fair opportunity for parties suspected of violating the code of ethics to prove in court, as well as at the end of the product issued in the form of a judgment which has definite binding power. So that the future enforcement of the professional code of ethics can run effectively.
