Bishkek, Nov. 29, 2021. / Kabar /. Opening ceremony of a non-state expert organization "Academ Expert" took place in the Hans Gross Criminalistics Training and Innovation Complex under the Kyrgyz State Law University (KSLU). Apart from training of students and providing qualifications, "Academ Expert" will provide expertise services for interested legal and physical persons, UNDP in Kyrgyzstan reported.
The centre will provide knowledge to students, professional development to specialists, as well as services to the public. Within the framework of existing UNDP programmes and projects on conflict prevention and prevention and strengthening the rule of law, technical support was provided in the form of procurement of special equipment and a set of office appliances necessary for provision of quality and impartial expert services.
The peculiarity of the event lies in the fact that for the first time in the Kyrgyz Republic, an expert organisation will operate on the premises of a university where it will be able to use all material resources to carry out expert activities, students of the Kyrgyz State Law University will in turn receive a unique opportunity for practice-oriented training together with leading experts.
"We, as UNDP, are pleased that today was an important event for the development of the non-state forensic sector. Our contribution in the form of providing computer and specialized equipment for the newly established expert organisation will serve as a basis for providing objective and accessible services to the entire legal system of Kyrgyzstan and citizens. We hope that in the future the independent forensic expertise will only develop and be supplemented with modern types of expertise and serve as a significant resource for ensuring the rights and freedoms of citizens," explained Artur Bukalaev, UNDP Project Officer in the Kyrgyz Republic. Technical support was provided under the Enhancing Resilience to Violent Extremism in Asia project (STRIVE Asia, a joint EU-UN partnership).
More than 70-80% of graduates in forensic science are girls, KLSU officials noted. Upon graduation, they have the skills to conduct seven types of expert examinations, and in Bishkek the most in-demand is the examination of traffic accidents.
The non-governmental expert organisation was established with the aim of providing citizens with an alternative type of independent expert opinion in a short period of time, which in turn contributes to the development of the justice system and ensuring effective protection of the rights of citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic.
Earlier in 2019, UNDP also assisted the Hans Gross Forensic Training and Innovation Complex of the KLSU in conducting an Olympiad for high school students in Bishkek on forensic expert skills, in order to increase interest and awareness of school graduates in the forensic profession.
