Biomedical research centers and direct-to-consumer DNA testing companies collect and process the genetic information of millions of individuals. However, the most pressing legal issue lies in determining who uses this data, for what purposes, and for how long. The core responsibility of law, therefore, is to maintain a balance between the capabilities of modern technology and the boundaries of human rights. This article examines international regulation and the jurisprudence of the ECtHR concerning the use of genetic data in criminal proceedings and advances proposals for the improvement of Azerbaijani legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/bsulawreview.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/11BSULawRev2.7.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download: PDF<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>11 Baku St. U.
