The Commission for the Selection of Judges and Criminal Magistrates with National Competence in Matters of Corruption is in charge of the selection and appointment of eligible candidates to the position of judge or magistrate who will preside over the national territory with regards to corruption. The Commission is composed of judges from the Criminal and Occupational Litigation Chambers of the Supreme Court of Justice, a member of the Support Mission against Corruption and Impunity in Honduras (Span.

Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?

Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?

Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?

Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?

Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
