In order to carry out these different tasks, the CEPEJ prepares benchmarks,
collects and analyses data, defines instruments of measure and means of
evaluation, adopts documents (reports, advices, guidelines, action plans,
etc), develops contacts with qualified personalities, non-governmental
organisations, research institutes and information centres, organises
hearings, promotes networks of legal professionals.

 The creation of the CEPEJ demonstrates the will of the Council of Europe
to promote the Rule of Law and Fundamental Rights in Europe, on the basis
of the
European Convention on Human Rights, and especially its Articles
5 (Right to liberty and security), 6 (Right to a fair trial), 13 (Right
to an effective remedy), 14 (Prohibition of discrimination).
The Council
of Europe has initiated a reflexion on efficiency of justice and adopted
Recommendations which contain ways to ensure both its fairness and efficiency.

The establishment of CEPEJ, which is ensured by the Directorate General
of Human Rights and Legal Affairs, shows the intention of the Council of Europe
not only to elaborate international legal instruments but also to promote
a precise knowledge of the judicial systems in Europe and of the different
existing tools which enables it to identify any difficulties and facilitate
their solution.
The CEPEJ will have, among other duties, the task of continuing
the on-going reflexion about the potential offered by new information
technologies (IT) to improve the efficiency of justice. The functioning
of the CEPEJ is governed by its
Statute
(cf. Appendix 2 to Resolution Res(2002)12).
