Abstract

In this chapter, four principles of professional ethics are
discussed that are of key importance when interpreting
in asylum procedures: confidentiality, impartiality,
accuracy and integrity, as well as professional conduct
with other participants in the communicative interaction.
These principles are commonly found in the specific
professional codes of ethics or codes of conduct applying
to interpreters. From an ethical perspective, these
principles can, to an extent, be considered to be virtues
as well as values.
