Kazakhstan will chair the Council of Chairs of Supreme Courts of CIS member states in 2027–2028, the republic's Supreme Court reported. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Sputnik Kazakhstan.
During the country's chairmanship, two meetings of the Council are planned – one in a remote format, the other in person. This decision was agreed upon at a meeting of the Council of Heads of Higher Judicial Bodies of CIS member states.
Chairman of the Supreme Court of Kazakhstan Aslambek Mergaliyev discussed the introduction of extraterritorial jurisdiction, live broadcasting of court hearings, and the use of artificial intelligence technologies as a digital assistant for judges.
"It was particularly noted that digitalization is not just the introduction of new IT solutions, but a fundamental change in the entire judicial process," the agency said.
Council members discussed the practice of recognition and enforcement of court decisions of CIS countries, issues of training and advanced training of personnel at the Russian University of Justice named after V. Lebedev, as well as the plan of main legal and judicial events for 2027–2028.
