As part of the consultations on the introduction of the new office of investigating magistrate in Uzbekistan as of January 1, 2025, and in continuation of the seminar on the protection of the rights of the accused in preliminary proceedings held in August 2024, IRZ held a follow-up event in Tashkent on October 21 and 22, 2024.

The Supreme Court and the Office of the Public Prosecutor General of the Republic of Uzbekistan were involved as partners, along with the international non-governmental organization “Regional Dialogue”, which is committed to promoting the rule of law in Uzbekistan.

In addition to the Uzbek judiciary from the Supreme Court and regional and municipal courts, the public prosecutor's office was also represented at the two-day seminar this time.

The legal framework of the preliminary proceedings was one of the main topics. The German team of experts presented the responsibilities of the police, the public prosecutor's office and the investigating judge, and then used case studies to address practical issues. They discussed individual legal decisions with the participants. Particular attention was paid to safeguarding the rights of the accused in criminal proceedings.

IRZ is planning further practical training courses for the Uzbek judiciary in 2025.
