An important aspect of the new approach will be providing investigative judges with the ability to modify or revoke preventive measures, such as detention or house arrest.
Within the framework of this project, the public will be able to participate directly in the consideration of criminal cases, except for crimes that threaten peace and security.
Such changes are aimed at increasing citizens' trust in the judicial authorities of Uzbekistan.
It should be noted that discussions about introducing the jury system in Kyrgyzstan have been ongoing for many years, but no real steps have been taken towards this yet.
In particular, a year ago, President Sadyr Japarov signed a bill to suspend the action of the Law "On Jurors in the Courts of the Kyrgyz Republic" and certain provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code.
The document specifies that to ensure the effective functioning of the jury system, as well as to create the necessary conditions, including funding and the development of the relevant infrastructure, the law on jurors in the Kyrgyz Republic and Chapter 45 of the Criminal Procedure Code is suspended until January 1, 2035.
