Abstract:Judicial power is the core of state sovereignty and judicial cooperation is a sensitive field in international cooperation. Bilateral and multilateral treaties (for example,the judicial treaties under the CIS framework) on judicial cooperation prior to the establishment of the SCO and treaties on judicial cooperation under the framework of the SCO after its establishment constitute the basis for legal cooperation among the SCO member states. Substantive progress has been made in cooperation in extradition,judicial assistance and transfer of custody under the relevant SCO treaties,which has reached a relatively high level in judicial cooperation among international organizations and played an important role in counter-terrorism and other security fields among SCO member states. The annual meeting of senior judicial officials has played an important role in enhancing mutual understanding and trust among the judicial communities of SCO member States. However,in addition to the influence of uncertainties in international politics on judicial cooperation,the judicial division of CIS countries such as China,India and Pakistan is different,and the common law of India and Pakistan is different from the civil law of other member states,resulting in the process of legal docking between member states still need to be streamlined. In addition,the SCO judicial cooperation,which is mainly in the criminal field,needs to be strengthened in the administrative and civil fields so as to meet the requirements of all-round development of the SCO.
