Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko proposed CIS partners to reform the judicial systems in a coordinated manner as he met with the heads of the supreme courts of foreign countries in Minsk on April 14.
BelTA says Aleksandr Lukashenko recalled that the countries have already taken the right step towards strengthening cooperation.
"Of particular interest is the exchange of experience in the field of judicial construction. After the collapse of the once unified judicial system, the new sovereign states had to create their own national models of judicial procedure. As you know, Belarus has taken the path of consistent improvement of the structure of the judiciary. We have not sought to break things. We are aware that we stand on the shoulders of giants: a lot has been done before us in judicial construction. We went this way of continuous improvements," Belarusian leader was cited as saying.
According to Lukashenko, when reforming the judicial system in Belarus, all decisions were made deliberately and without copying of the unnecessary foreign experience.
“We have carried out several stages of judicial and legal reforms. Judicial reforms are reflected in our Constitution. We know that you carry out judicial reform processes. We are interested in your achievements, and are ready to share our experience. By continuously improving the judicial system, we first tested everything at the level of laws and by-laws. And then, when we made sure that they work we formalized them in our Constitution," Belarusian president added, according to BelTA.
