Ministry of Justice (Tajikistan)

Established in 1925, the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Tajikistan (Russian: Министерство Юстиции; Tajik: Вазорати адлияи Ҷумҳурии Тоҷикистон) is the executive body implementing the state policy and normative legal regulation in the sphere of legal aid to the citizens, promotion of legal and criminal justice, and judicial and criminal prosecutions.

By the decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR, the Commissariat was given official instructions and tasks on 12 February 1925.

On 7 July 1925, the decision of interdepartmental training for administrative staff of the judiciary began by order of the Communist Party of Tajikistan's Central Committee under the auspices of the People's Commissariat for Education (commonly known as the Ministry of Education).

On 20 June 1933, the decision was taken by the Prosecutor's Office to create a separate and independent public prosecutor's office timed for the formation of the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic (Tajik SSR).

The Ministry of Justice operated at this level until 24 November 1958 replaced it with a legal commission under the Council of Ministers.
