Seminar on Criminal Justice for Central Asia
In 1991 Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan in Central Asia, became independent from the former Soviet Union. Now, each country strives to establish the rule of law and is in the process of comprehensive justice system reform.
Although the situation of each country varies to a considerable extent, organized crime, involving drugs, weapon smuggling, money laundering and corruption are rampant, and cause various problems in this region. In order to tackle these problems the reinforcement of law and order in accordance with due process is an urgent challenge.
Under these circumstances, the Training Course on the Criminal Justice System for Tajikistan Criminal Justice Officials was expanded in 2005 to include all the above-mentioned Central Asian countries. This seminar will be attended by approximately 15 judges, public prosecutors, investigators and other criminal justice officials; three from each country.
The seminar consists of lectures by the professors of UNAFEI, ad hoc lecturers and presentations, discussions by participants on the actual situation of their respective countries and study tours to criminal justice agencies.
