More than a third (42.3%) of respondents whose interests are defended by appointed lawyers explained that they were not satisfied with the work of defense lawyer ("asking for money," "does not work," "forced to confess"). Diagram № 16 Evaluating the effectiveness of defense lawyer In January 2011, the Law "On state-guaranteed legal assistance" became effective. The main purpose of this Law is to create conditions for citizens of Kyrgyzstan to exercise their constitutionally guaranteed right to qualified legal assistance if they have no funds, by creating an effective system of law enforcement and legal assistance. In accordance with this Law, a special selection of lawyers to assist shall be carried out from the State Register of guaranteed legal assistance. However, according to the opinion of the Ministry of Justice, the practice of appointing a defense lawyer who is not in the State Register still continues to exist. In order to avoid this phenomenon, experts suggest including in the CPC of KR a provision stating that defense lawyers should be appointed only from the State Register. Certain hopes for improvement have appeared in connection with the adoption of the new Law "On the Bar of the Kyrgyz Republic and Advocacy." 24 At the first constituent congress of lawyers of the Kyrgyz Republic, which took place on November 26, 2014, the eradication of the problem of "pocket," "duty" lawyers, who are acting contrary to the interests of the protected client, were discussed. Also the issues of protection of the defense lawyer from prosecution by law enforcement agencies were considered. The congress approved the Chapter on the Bar Association of the Kyrgyz Republic and the Code of professional ethics of defense lawyers in Kyrgyzstan. 25 Due to the fact that the assessment of the quality of services provided by defense lawyers is carried out solely on the basis of information obtained in interviews with persons held in detention, we consider it necessary to note that for more objective conclusions about the effectiveness of legal assistance, interviews with lawyers are necessary, which are supposed to take place in 2015. 24 Law of KR "On the Bar of the Kyrgyz Republic and Advocacy," Adopted by the Jorogku Kenesh of KR, on June 19, 2014. 25 http://kg.akipress.org/news:607146 National Centre of the Kyrgyz Republic on the Prevention of Torture | 35
