Description

The Law of the Kyrgyz Republic No. 113, "On Aksakal Courts," dated July 5, 2002, is no longer in effect, having been repealed by Law No. 52 on February 19, 2024. This law previously defined Aksakal Courts as voluntary, elected, self-governing public bodies. Their purpose was to review cases referred by courts, prosecutors, and other law enforcement agencies as per Kyrgyz legislation. They also handled disputes between citizens, as outlined by the law. Aksakal Courts could be established by citizen assemblies or local councils in rural and urban areas, comprising respected male and female elders (aksakals). These courts were not legal entities and were not subject to registration with justice authorities, though they did possess seals and stamps bearing their name
