In the context of the “UNDP Rule of Law Partnership Project” a study tour for a delegation from the Republic of Uzbekistan comprising judges from the Supreme Court, officials from the Presidential Administration, academics, and judiciary experts was designed, organized and coordinated by indecon. The study tour lasted 10 days (7th to the 18th of May 2017) and visited numerous high- and mid-level courts, Ministries of Justice, Judiciary Training Facilities and Association of Judges in Germany and Austria. The main objective of the study tour was to enhance the knowledge and technical skills of the participants by providing them with an opportunity to study experience and best practices of German and Austrian judiciaries in the areas of administrative justice, jurisdiction of administrative courts, selection and appointment of judges, training of judges.
Halfway through the tour a full-day classroom training workshop on the German judiciary system, formal requirements in court rulings, and other topics was conducted by our staff to discuss and thereby consolidate the hitherto gained knowledge.
