Annotation:
The main problem addressed in the article is the limited effectiveness of human rights
protection mechanisms in Kazakhstan, despite the presence of constitutional guarantees of citizens'
rights and freedoms. The Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan provides citizens with broad
rights, but there is a significant gap between legal guarantees and their actual implementation in
practice. The main issues include the insufficient independence of the judiciary, restrictions on
freedom of expression, limited access to justice and legal aid for citizens, as well as difficulties faced
by human rights organizations. These issues hinder the full realization of citizens' rights and freedoms,
creating significant barriers to the functioning of the rule of law.
The goal of the article is to analyze the human rights protection mechanisms enshrined in the
Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan and assess their impact on the protection of citizens' rights.
The article aims to identify the main problems faced by citizens when protecting their rights and
suggest possible solutions to improve the human rights situation in the country.
To achieve the research goal, legal analysis of normative acts was used, including the
Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan and other legislative acts regulating citizens' rights and
freedoms. Judicial acts, reports of human rights organizations, and statistics related to citizens' appeals
to state authorities and human rights structures were also used. The research methodology included
comparative analysis and case studies, which allowed a deeper examination of the real problems in the
implementation of human rights in Kazakhstan and the proposal of well-grounded solutions to address
these issues.
The research results showed that, despite the presence of constitutional guarantees of rights
and freedoms, the real situation with human rights protection mechanisms in Kazakhstan remains
problematic. The main problems include the insufficient independence of the judiciary, restrictions on
freedom of expression, difficulties in accessing justice and legal aid, as well as administrative barriers
for human rights organizations. These factors limit the effective realization of citizens' rights and
undermine trust in the judiciary and state authorities. The task of reforming the judicial system,
improving the accessibility of legal aid, and creating conditions for the free operation of human rights
organizations is of critical importance for enhancing human rights protection, strengthening
democracy, and the rule of law, as well as for creating a fairer and more effective human rights
protection system in Kazakhstan.
