Judicial reforms in Kazakhstan have been
highly commended in Azerbaijan. A delegation from Azerbaijan recently visited
Astana, where judges expressed interest in the changes aimed at ensuring
judicial independence and fostering the role of the Kazakh Supreme Judicial
Council. During the meeting, they discussed reforms in judge selection,
appointment processes, and professional assessment. The parties also explored
cooperation between their Supreme Judicial Councils, emphasizing the
digitalization of legal proceedings and mutual knowledge exchange. Both parties
noted that such efforts help strengthen ties between Kazakh and Azerbaijani
government agencies.
«Mutual interest and openness to dialogue
confirm that judicial reforms attract attention not only in Central Asia but
also beyond its borders. The Supreme Judicial Council is always ready and open
to cooperation and sharing its experience, taking the most effective measures
to improve judicial institutions further,» said Dmitry Malakhov, chairman of
the Kazakh Supreme Judicial Council.
«Kazakhstan’s legal practice is very
interesting. I appreciate seeing new reforms in the judicial system with each
visit. The latest reform we discussed during our meeting is particularly
exciting. We hope these reforms will successfully achieve their intended goals,»
noted Sanan Gadzhiev, chairman of the Civil Chamber of Azerbaijan’s Supreme
Court.
