Day of the worker of the judiciary in Kyrgyzstan

For ordinary people the greatest problem is the high level of corruption in the justice sector. Kyrgyzstan’s judiciary is failing to act as a neutral arbiter of political disputes or as a fair channel for economic arbitration.

Despite some positive moves from the government, including improvements in sentencing policy and the abolition of the death penalty, there has been too little reform. The most important role for international counterparts is to assist in training and opening up Kyrgyz judges and other legal professionals to broade.
