Today, at the Sorbonne-Kazakhstan Institute, a high-level legal dialogue titled "Human Rights in Criminal Proceedings" was held under the initiative of the Commission on Human Rights under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan. This significant event was organized within the framework of the visit of prominent professors from the University of Poitiers (France): Jérôme Bossan, Stéphanie Pavageau, and Alexandre Zollinger.

The official meeting was attended by representatives of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Supreme Court, the Ministry of Justice, members of the French Embassy in Kazakhstan, and heads of state structures and law enforcement agencies. The session was moderated by Igor Rogov, Chairman of the Commission on Human Rights under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The guest speakers shared France's constitutional experience and the specifics of its law enforcement system. Given that Kazakhstan's first Constitution was drafted with reference to the French basic law, the similarities and shared principles in the legal systems of both countries drew significant interest from the participants. Stéphanie Pavageau, an expert in European and constitutional law, detailed the operational mechanisms of the French Constitutional Council, using specific examples to explain how laws hindering human rights are analyzed and adapted.

Jérôme Bossan, representing the Institute of Criminal Sciences, focused on the professional competencies of law enforcement officers and the vital importance of respecting the rights of suspects, victims, and offenders alike. Alongside the rights to medical assistance, legal counsel, and translation services, the professor prioritized the preservation of human dignity. He also addressed sensitive issues such as the protection of personal data and the use of geolocation during criminal investigations.

Expert Alexandre Zollinger addressed a modern challenge: the role of artificial intelligence in the investigative process. He warned that over-reliance on AI could lead to errors and distortions, emphasizing that this technology must be used with extreme caution in crime investigation. Regional academies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs joined the event online, providing students and young scientists with a platform to discuss global legal trends with the French experts. This dialogue strengthened scientific and practical cooperation between the two nations and facilitated the mastery of international human rights protection standards for future lawyers.
