The OSCE Programme Office strengthens the administration of justice in Kyrgyzstan by contributing to the ongoing reform of the criminal justice system. This work aims to enhance the capacity of prosecutors, judges, and lawyers who are implementing the newly adopted criminal justice legislation, and at the same time supports the efforts of governmental working groups and civil society that monitor the use of the new legislation throughout the rule of law sector. The Programme Office also assists in the implementation of the Penitentiary Reform Strategy, in the prevention of violent extremism and radicalization that lead to terrorism in prisons and the prevention of the use of torture in detention facilities. The Programme Office also actively assists in strengthening the co-operation between the national human rights institutions, state institutions and civil society.
