Great question Maria. I think new amendments should be made. Culture has emerged as a big topic of debate over years. Another topic is women empowerment. The new amendment should focus on these areas.
@Anupam, thank you for your comments. I don't believe in "positive discrimination" , then, in this case, I'm with Vincent Guerard, this topic maybe doesn't apply in the review.

Maria, I assume when drafting or revising any document, views from all other regions taken into consideration.
I know somebody will hate me. But please, understand the context. The problem is: the code of conduct has been created as part of you need to define a pseudo-profession. But it has no sence in the practice. The code that has sence is the code that just in case the project manager not fullfil the organization can take legal actions against the project manager. That is what you see in medicine for exmple. And that is because medicine is a formal profession. On the other side, ethic is an ancient debate. Most of the organizations have code of ethics in place and you have to perform an annual certification to learn, understanding and adhere to that code.
@Sergio, this is an excellent point. Saving Changes...
I hope more people participate in this discussion. There are some interesting topics. Maybe we don't need directly to update it, only review it and add a note "Reviewed on 2016".
Code ethics is not the Quixote, from my point of view is a live document. As world, technologies, organizational cultures are changing, will be a good idea to review it. Saving Changes...

I certainly believe it should be reviewed at a stated interval but don't presume to know what that interval might be. I am fairly certain that each time I have renewed my PMP that I have been required to agree and acknowledge the PMI Code of Ethics, which I think is appropriate. Saving Changes...
