Prispevek obravnava vprašanje sprejetja etičnega kodeksa za poslanke in poslance Državnega zbora. Etična pravila za poslance imajo številne evropske kot tudi neevropske države, razlike so zgolj v pristopih pri oblikovanju in njihovi umestitvi znotraj pravnih pravil oziroma aktov. Čeprav so različne institucije več let opozarjale na sprejem etičnih pravil, pa je bil kodeks za poslanke in poslance Državnega zbora sprejet šele letos. Kolegij predsednika Državnega zbora je predlog etičnega kodeksa obravnaval in z več kot dvotretjinsko večino poslank in poslancev sprejel 12. junija 2020. Kodeks zapoveduje družbeno sprejemljivo ravnanje poslancev kot predstavnikov ljudstva. Gre za skupek načel, ki se jih morajo poslanke in poslanci držati, to so ugled in integriteta, lojalnost, pravičnost in poštenost, odgovornost ter dostojnost in spoštljivost. Njihove kršitve obravnava Kolegij predsednika Državnega zbora, ki poslancu za kršitev lahko izreče tudi sankcijo.

The article presents the adoption of the Code of Ethics for Deputies of the National Assembly. Codes of conduct for members of parliaments are in place in several European and non-European countries and only differ with regard to the approaches taken in their formulation and integration into legal rules or acts. Although various institutions have been drawing attention to the necessity of adopting ethical rules for many years, the Code of Ethics for Deputies of the National Assembly was only adopted this year. The Code was discussed by the Council of the President of the National Assembly on 12 June 2020 and adopted by more than a two-thirds majority vote. The Code mandates a socially acceptable conduct of deputies as representatives of the people. It is a set of principles that the deputies must adhere to, such as reputation and integrity, loyalty, justice and fairness, responsibility, dignity and respect. Any violation thereof is discussed by the Council of the President of the National Assembly, which may also impose sanctions on the deputies violating the Code.
