OSCE supports anti-corruption training webinar for the judiciary
On 30 July, the OSCE Programme Office in Nur-Sultan supported an anti-corruption webinar for Kazakhstan’s judiciary that included representatives from the supreme and district courts.
The webinar aimed to promote best national and international practices in combating corruption, with a special focus on Kazakhstan’s anti-corruption legislation and OSCE participating States’ best practices. It provided an overview of provisions aimed at improving access to justice and establishing prevention mechanisms to safeguard judicial impartiality.
An expert from Latvia shared his experiences of combating judiciary corruption in his country, as well as best practices from the European Union. The local expert focused on the prospects of updating the legislation on the status of judges, and identifying risk factors to reduce corruption.
The event was organized in partnership with the Supreme Court and involved some 30 judges.
The webinar is part of the Programme Office’s multi-year efforts to promote good governance by focussing on anti-corruption activities in Kazakhstan.
