Representatives of law enforcement agencies, the judicial system and the legal profession took part in the training. They discussed how to make the criminal process more fair, transparent and humane, as well as how to ensure the rule of law and the protection of human rights in investigations, interrogations and judicial proceedings in practice.

Specialists from the Center for Development and Justice and international experts from the UK, Spain and the Netherlands spoke about constitutional guarantees and the so-called "Miranda rights" - the right of a person to know what they are accused of, to remain silent and to use the help of a lawyer during detention. These principles, which originated in the United States in 1966, have become a symbol of fair treatment of suspects.

On the second day, a British expert on international interrogation standards presented the P.E.A.C.E. model to the participants, a modern and scientifically sound method of conducting interviews without pressure and coercion. During the practical exercises, the participants practiced these skills, paying attention to the principles of trust, respect and transparency. Special attention was paid to the Mendes Principles aimed at preventing torture and other forms of ill-treatment.

As the participants noted, respect for human rights begins with everyday professional practice - with the investigator asking questions, the prosecutor evaluating evidence, and the judge making decisions. The acquired knowledge will help specialists to make criminal proceedings in Uzbekistan even more fair, humane and focused on the protection of human rights.
