Printer-friendly versionName of the project: Мінсіз судья (Impartial judge)
Relevance: The level of public confidence in the judiciary is not high enough.
Purpose: To create a highly professional judiciary based on the use of international standards of independent justice, adequate to the needs of modern Kazakhstani society.
The issue of the formation of quality personnel of the courts has always been important in the framework of judicial reforms. A lot has been done, however, the results do not fully meet the expectations of modern society.
The main reasons for this situation are the imperfect mechanism for selection and promotion of judges, the tendency to prevail in the judiciary of apparatus values, insufficiently effective processes and methods for improving the skills of existing judges, incompleteness of the principle of independence of judges.
The project aims to further implement 17-19 steps of the Nation Plan by improving the mechanisms for selecting candidates for judicial positions, the activities of the Academy of Justice, as well as the institutions of accountability and responsibility of judges.
The project "Мінсіз судья" is planned to be realized through:
- improvement of the system of preparation of candidates for judges by the Academy of Justice, qualification examinations and probation for candidates;
- ensuring transparency in the selection and promotion of judges, increasing access to "entry" into the profession;
- review of the current procedure for considering complaints against the actions of judges;
- changing the evaluation system and reviewing the institute of disciplinary responsibility of judges;
- development of tools to stimulate the ethical conduct of judges;
- enhancement of legislative, organizational, legal and material guarantees for the external and internal independence of judges in the administration of justice.
