Synopsis: The annual report for 2007 on the corruption level in the world,
prepared by the well-known international anti-corruption coalition
Transparency International, focused on corruption in the judicial system.
The topic of the report is not unusual, and is explained by the importance
of this problem.
The major conclusion of the report was that judicial corruption undermines
the efforts of the international community to fight transnational crime,
limits access to justice system, and prevents improvements in human rights
protection. Moreover, judicial corruption undermines the activities of
judicial bodies all over the world by depriving citizens of access to laws
and violating one of the major human rights - the right to a just and
unbiased legal system.
>From this perspective, the study of judicial corruption as a whole (and
particularly in Kyrgyzstan) and of effective measures for confronting it,
and the development and implementation of corresponding recommendations are
fundamental steps necessary to improving the state capacity.
