The Ministry of Justice aims to learn from the experience of Russian experts in applying the principle of regulatory guillotine, and in expert check and systematization of regulations, the Ministry of Justice said.
The Uzbek Minister of Justice Ruslanbek Davletov and his Russian counterpart Konstantin Chuichenko on May 19 in Moscow discussed the prospects for bilateral cooperation.
The parties reportedly signed a cooperation program for 2019-2020 between the departments. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the program has not been fully implemented.
Ruslanbek Davletov invited his Russian colleague to update the program. In particular, we are talking about the study of Russian experience in the field of examination and systematization of regulations, examination of draft international treaties, as well as the application of the regulatory guillotine principle
He also proposed to include in the updated program the issues of legal education, the creation of a unified electronic platform and electronic document management system in the provision of international legal assistance, the development of international cooperation in the field of forensic expertise.
As Ruslanbek Davletov said during his remarks at the St. Petersburg International Legal Forum, over the past two years, the “regulatory guillotine” method cut the existing legal framework by almost 10%. More than 3,000 by-laws were voided. Work is underway to consolidate about 15 thousand legal acts in 60 branches of legislation.
Ruslanbek Davletov also met with the Minister of Justice of Belarus Oleg Slizhevsky. During the meeting, a cooperation agreement was signed.
It is expected that cooperation will be carried out in the development of e-justice, including the informatization of justice institutions, legal regulation of the legal profession and notarial activities, the organization and development of a system for the provision of legal services, the development of the institution of mediation, training and advanced training of legal personnel.
