International Congress of Lawyers underway in Astana

Law faculty professors from Yasawi University will have the opportunity to enhance their qualifications and undergo practical training at the Justice Academy of Türkiye. The university will also collaborate with other partners of Kazakhstan’s Law Enforcement Academy under a memorandum signed today in Astana during the International Congress of Lawyers. The event commemorates the 10th anniversary of the Academy and Kazakhstan’s chairmanship of the Turkic Judicial Training Network. Experts and heads of justice and oversight institutions from Türkiye, Azerbaijan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan, alongside diplomats and representatives of international organizations, are participating. Discussions focus on scientific and educational cooperation, as well as joint efforts to counter transnational threats within the Organization of Turkic States, including cybercrime, organized crime, extremism, and terrorism.

«The theme of this congress is highly relevant today. There is close cooperation between the Academy of Law Enforcement Agencies of Kazakhstan and the Law Enforcement Academy of Uzbekistan. We frequently meet at such events, including a similar one held last year in Tashkent, Uzbekistan,» said Ilyosjon Kadirov, Head of the Registrar’s Office Center at Uzbekistan’s Law Enforcement Academy.

«The Law Enforcement Academy under the Prosecutor General’s Office is celebrating its 10th anniversary today. Over the past decade, the Academy has become an active participant in various international networks, such as those for legal cooperation among prosecution and judicial bodies in Central Asia and the South Caucasus, as well as for asset recovery. Kazakhstan plays an active role in these initiatives, working closely with counterpart institutions in the region and beyond,» said Madina Sarieva, Head of the UNODC Programme Office in Kazakhstan.
