This roundtable discussion is a continuation of OSCE-supported public and expert hearings to deliberate amendments to Kazakhstan’s existing legislation on state-guaranteed free legal aid. Discussions will focus on overall management of the process of proving legal aid at state expense, the independence of lawyers in this process, and general legislative and institutional challenges to ensuring the right to free legal aid in Kazakhstan. International experts from Armenia, Belgium, and Germany will share their countries' experience in providing free legal-aid services.
Participants will include representatives of governmental authorities, members of parliament, lawyers and human rights defenders dealing with issues of free legal aid in Kazakhstan.
