IBA General Principles for the Legal Profession Adopted by the International Bar Association on 20 September 2006
Lawyers throughout the world are specialised professionals who place the interests of their clients above their own, and strive to obtain respect for the Rule of Law. They have to combine a continuous update on legal developments with service to their clients, respect for the Courts, and the legitimate aspiration to maintain a reasonable standard of living. Between these elements there is often tension. These principles aim at establishing a generally accepted framework to serve as a basis on which codes of conduct may be established by the appropriate authorities for lawyers in any part of the world. In addition, the purpose of adopting these General Principles is to promote and foster the ideals of the legal profession. These General Principles are not intended to replace or limit a lawyer’s obligation under applicable laws or rules of professional conduct. Nor are they to be used as criteria for imposing liability, sanctions, or disciplinary measures of any kind.
1. Independence.
2. Honesty, integrity and fairness.
3. Conflicts of interest.
4. Confidentiality/professional secrecy.
5. Clients' interest.
6. Lawyers' undertaking.
7. Clients' freedom.
8. Property of clients and third parties.
9. Competence.
10. Fees.
