Sažetak
Kazakhstan is not a member State of the Council of Europe. Therefore, the “European legal standards” do not have the same authority in Kazakhstan as they would have in a member State. However, the Kazakh authorities want to gradually move in the direction of the European model of judicial governance. As stated in the preamble to the Concept Paper on the reform of the High Judicial Council and of the system of selection, training and promotion of judges (hereinafter: the Concept Paper), the goal of the reform is to “increase the level of public trust to the judicial system, to ensure independence of judges, to introduce mechanisms for the selection of judges based on recognized international standards and best international practices, thereby to carry out selection of professional and dedicated judges”. The Concept Paper does not propose specific amendments to the existing laws. It contains a general outline of the reform, describes its goals and the main principles and ideas, which will be implemented in future. The opinion is limited to the material scope of the Concept Paper, which covers questions related to the judicial careers (training, recruitment, promotion of judges and discipline) and to the internal structure of the Kazakh High Judicial Council.
