Article 2 par 9 of the Draft Law provides that “Chairpersons, deputy Chairpersons of the Supreme Court, the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court as well as local courts, elected or appointed in accordance with the provisions of the law adopted for the implementation of the Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic dated June 27, 2010 shall retain their powers until expiration of the term of their election or appointment or until other circumstances envisaged in the law which result in their dismissal provided they within one month’s period comply with the requirements of part [sic] 8-1 of article 94 of the Constitution of the Kyrgyz Republic in the version of this law”. This amendment raises particularly serious concerns, as it opens the door to the dismissal of judges who refuse to waive their rights to privacy as required under Article 94 par 8-1 within one month of the entry into force of the Amended Constitution (see par 79 supra). This could potentially affect a significant number, and maybe even the majority of judges. Whatever the reason for introducing such a waiver of privacy rights (for instance to remedy widespread instances of corruption or widely spread incompetence among the judiciary), provisions that could lead to the dismissal of a significant number of judges at the same time are not in line with international and regional human rights and rule of law standards; this would also potentially jeopardize the continued and smooth administration of justice.
