An OSCE trial-monitoring report released in Kazakhstan has identified the need for further steps to be taken to uphold fair trial standards in the country.
They include the right of the public to attend court, equality between the parties, and the presumption of innocence.
The deputy head of the OSCE center in Almaty, Bjorn Halvarsson, said improving Kazakhstan's compliance with OSCE commitments on the right to a fair trial is crucial in light of the ongoing criminal justice reforms.
