5) The Constitutional Council The Constitutional Council is an Ivorian institution established by Law No. 94-438 of 16 August 1994 during the First Republic which provides for the composition, organisation, powers and operations and ensures the regularity of elections and referendums. To this effect, it ensures compliance with the laws and some regulations before they come into force and also intervenes in certain cases in respect of parliamentary and public affairs. The Constitutional Council is not the highest court of jurisdiction. It is an independent body provided for in Title VI of the new Constitution. It is a member of the Association of Constitutional Courts using the French Language (ACCPUF). 6) Supreme Court The Supreme Court of Côte d’Ivoire is the highest body of the judicial arm of government of the country. It presides over appeals against verdicts given by Courts of Appeal or sits over final rulings given in the last instance by courts of first instance or their sections. The Supreme Court is composed of an administrative court, a judicial chamber and an audit chamber. On-going constitutional reviews in Côte d'Ivoire provide for a replacement of the Supreme Court by three specific and autonomous courts : a Council of State, a Court of Cassation and an Audit Court. 7) High Authority on Good Governance Established by Ordinance in September 2013, the High Authority on Good Governance was inaugurated by the Head of State on 5 September 2014. Its mandate is to "reinforce the fight against the canker of corruption and its metastases in the form of related offences such as illicit enrichment which disorganises the society, changes the operational rules governing the State, causes poor use of public financial resources, distorts free competition, on the one hand, and to "ensure the promotion of good governance in order to rid the administration of its deficiencies through education and prevention, and where necessary by deterrent measures" on the other hand. 25
