Abstract
The authors conducted a study on live streaming of trials as a means of increasing transparency and trust in the judicial system, and also examined the positive aspects, possible problems and risks associated with the live streaming policy of trials.
The purpose of the study was to analyze the live broadcast of trials to the public and to ensure the protection of confidentiality and security of participants in the trial.
The study was conducted using various approaches: an empirical analysis of historical articles on Kazakh steppe law, coverage of official live broadcasts of the trial of specific individuals in the Republic of Kazakhstan, and available online media articles. These methods made it possible to collect and analyze the data necessary to determine the directions for further improvement of the live broadcast of trials.
As a conclusion, note that in order to further improve the live broadcast of trials, it is necessary to develop a unified model for the Republic of Kazakhstan for the live broadcast of trials. In author’s opinion, this model will serve as a guide for judges, jurors and participants in the trial, which will make it possible to cover official live broadcasts of trials without violating the constitutional rights of all participants in the process.
The authors also note that subsequently it is necessary to improve the skills and training of judges in conducting live broadcasts of trials to ensure compliance with the requirements of the law and order in the courtroom.
