In the active and constantly expanding activities of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the interaction of the highest judicial instances is becoming more and more popular.
The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation was created in 2001 on the basis of "Shanghai five" formed after the signing by Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, China, Russia and Tajikistan. The main goal of SCO is to strengthen mutual trust, friendship and good neighbourliness, encouraging effective cooperation in several areas among the member states. SCO members include China, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Afghanistan, Belarus, Iran and Mongolia constitute the SCO observers while Armenia, Azerbaijan, Cambodia, Nepal are the SCO dialogue partners:
The SCO Charter, the regulations on meetings of heads of ministries and/or departments of the SCO Member States, the rules of procedure of the Presidents of the Supreme Courts of the SCO Member States, and the SCO Rules of procedure regulate the activities of the Meeting of the Presidents of the Supreme Courts (MPSC).
Meeting of the Presidents of the Supreme Courts allows for a constant dialogue on a wide range of issues, giving a new impetus to the development of relations and allowing the development of mechanisms for further improving the work of the judiciary.
The first Meeting was held on 22 September 2006 in Shanghai (People’s Republic of China). Since then, the Institute of interaction between the Chief Justices of the Supreme Courts has occupied a special place in the Organization, significantly complementing an established unique practice of cooperation.
The seventeenth meeting of the Presidents of the Supreme Courts of the
Member states of the SCO was held in Dushanbe. India assumed rotational
presidency of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization for a year in
September 2022 through the Samarkand declaration last year. The Indian
participation in the meeting will include Hon’ble the Chief Justice
of India, Dr Dhananjay Y Chandrachud and Judges of the Supreme Court of India among others.
