-# [Hyperledger Code of Conduct](https://wiki.hyperledger.org/community/hyperledger-project-code-of-conduct)
+# Askar Code of Conduct Policy
 
-Hyperledger is a collaborative project at The Linux Foundation. It is an open-source and open
-community project where participants choose to work together, and in that process experience
-differences in language, location, nationality, and experience. In such a diverse environment,
-misunderstandings and disagreements happen, which in most cases can be resolved informally. In rare
-cases, however, behavior can intimidate, harass, or otherwise disrupt one or more people in the
-community, which Hyperledger will not tolerate.
+The Askar project uses the [LF Europe Code of Conduct].
 
-A **Code of Conduct** is useful to define accepted and acceptable behaviors and to promote high
-standards of professional practice. It also provides a benchmark for self evaluation and acts as a
-vehicle for better identity of the organization.
+[LF Europe Code of Conduct]: https://linuxfoundation.eu/policies/code-of-conduct
 
-This code (**CoC**) applies to any member of the Hyperledger community – developers, participants in
-meetings, teleconferences, mailing lists, conferences or functions, etc. Note that this code
-complements rather than replaces legal rights and obligations pertaining to any particular
-situation.
-
-## Statement of Intent
-
-Hyperledger is committed to maintain a **positive** [work environment](#work-environment). This
-commitment calls for a workplace where [participants](#participant) at all levels behave according
-to the rules of the following code. A foundational concept of this code is that we all share
-responsibility for our work environment.
-
-## Code
-
-1. Treat each other with [respect](#respect), professionalism, fairness, and sensitivity to our many
-   differences and strengths, including in situations of high pressure and urgency.
-
-2. Never [harass](#harassment) or [bully](#workplace-bullying) anyone verbally, physically or
-   [sexually](#sexual-harassment).
-
-3. Never [discriminate](#discrimination) on the basis of personal characteristics or group
-   membership.
-
-4. Communicate constructively and avoid [demeaning](#demeaning-behavior) or
-   [insulting](#insulting-behavior) behavior or language.
-
-5. Seek, accept, and offer objective work criticism, and [acknowledge](#acknowledgement) properly
-   the contributions of others.
-
-6. Be honest about your own qualifications, and about any circumstances that might lead to conflicts
-   of interest.
-
-7. Respect the privacy of others and the confidentiality of data you access.
-
-8. With respect to cultural differences, be conservative in what you do and liberal in what you
-   accept from others, but not to the point of accepting disrespectful, unprofessional or unfair or
-   [unwelcome behavior](#unwelcome-behavior) or [advances](#unwelcome-sexual-advance).
-
-9. Promote the rules of this Code and take action (especially if you are in a
-   [leadership position](#leadership-position)) to bring the discussion back to a more civil level
-   whenever inappropriate behaviors are observed.
-
-10. Stay on topic: Make sure that you are posting to the correct channel and avoid off-topic
-    discussions. Remember when you update an issue or respond to an email you are potentially
-    sending to a large number of people.
-
-11. Step down considerately: Members of every project come and go, and the Hyperledger is no
-    different. When you leave or disengage from the project, in whole or in part, we ask that you do
-    so in a way that minimizes disruption to the project. This means you should tell people you are
-    leaving and take the proper steps to ensure that others can pick up where you left off.
