In the Kyrgyzstan parliament, a bill titled "Aksakal Courts" has been presented. The purpose of this bill is to bring the current legislation in line with the Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic as part of a law inventory. The project has been submitted for government consideration, as indicated on the official website of the Jogorku Kenesh of the Kyrgyz Republic.
According to the official document, the Aksakal Court is described as an institution that incorporates elements of a "people's court" in line with democratic principles:
1. Accessibility for local residents.
2. Election of Aksakal Court members from the most authoritative and respected citizens.
3. Elimination of bureaucracy in dispute resolution.
As per the provided information, the state formally recognizes the Aksakal Court as a non-state body capable of resolving specific categories of disputes. This status is enshrined in the Constitution and special legislation. Decisions of the Aksakal Courts have the force of execution through writs issued by state courts.
In the bill, the Aksakal Court is described as a voluntary community-based organization, founded on the principles of election and self-governance. Its main task is to resolve disputes among citizens, companies, and individuals, as well as to review materials sent by courts in accordance with civil procedural legislation and regarding violations of rules and procedures established by local communities and authorities.
According to the law, Aksakal Courts review cases with the aim of mediating and delivering fair decisions in accordance with the law. Decisions can be appealed in accordance with the law, and their activities are financed from local budgets.
The bill also suggests granting the authority to approve the composition of the court to the head of the executive body of local self-government and the functions of registration to the mayor's office and the rural administration.
These new judicial bodies do not have jurisdiction in criminal cases and cannot impose fines. However, the bill proposes giving them the authority to review materials sent by local self-government bodies in cases of violations of rules and procedures established by the local community within the framework of existing legislation.
