The Commissioner for Human Rights in the Republic of Kazakhstan, Artur Lastayev, delivered a statement at the plenary session of the OSCE ODIHR Warsaw Human Dimension Conference, dedicated to strengthening guarantees of fundamental freedoms and advancing human rights mechanisms.Speaking on the freedom of peaceful assembly and association, the Ombudsman noted that Kazakhstan applies a notification-based procedure for organizing peaceful assemblies. Since this year, regional authorities have begun offering alternative options in cases where objective restrictions on time or venue apply. In instances of unjustified refusals, courts have ruled such decisions unlawful. “This is an important indicator of growing trust between society and the government,” he emphasized.The registration procedure for non-governmental organizations has also been simplified – now only three founders are required, and the total number of registered organizations exceeds 23,000. A draft law is being developed to further improve their activities in line with international standards.Furthermore, the Commissioner recalled that the Constitution of Kazakhstan guarantees everyone freedom of conscience and religion. The country is home to about 4,000 religious associations representing 18 different faiths.“Kazakhstan continues to strengthen the legal foundations and culture of human rights, making freedoms an integral part of every citizen’s daily life,” Artur Lastayev concluded.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/ombudsman-karaganda-oblysy/press/news/details/1088652?lang=kk

The principle of inevitability of punishment was implemented. In the first 9 months of the current year, prosecutors supported the state prosecution in 973 cases, with verdicts issued in 824 cases, and 410 individuals sentenced to imprisonment. During the reporting period, 36 appellate petitions were satisfied.The project "Aktobe — Territory Without Fraud" is being implemented. An interdepartmental working group operates under the regional prosecutor's office, coordinating the following: extensive explanatory work has been carried out, more than 25,000 brochures distributed, over 1,000 publications made on social media, 1,500 meetings organized with the population, and 127 informational billboards installed. Two cases of "dropper" activity have been identified; one person has been convicted in one case, and the second case is under court consideration (both are charged under Article 190 of the Criminal Code). Under the coordination of the prosecutor's office, two underground drug laboratories were uncovered, and more than 76 kg of synthetic drugs were seized.

The process of recovering these funds to the state budget is underway, including through judicial proceedings. To date, the misuse of budget funds amounting to more than 3 billion tenge has been prevented, and 1.2 billion tenge has been reimbursed, of which 1 billion tenge went to the state budget. In corruption and economic criminal cases initiated by the prosecutor's office, 5 individuals have been convicted, and pre-trial investigations are ongoing in 16 cases. Special attention has been paid to construction issues and the protection of citizens' rights. Thus, the court has satisfied 6 claims in the interests of 285 shared-equity holders regarding the invalidity of concluded transactions and the transfer of land plots to housing construction cooperatives. Currently, the akimat is working to complete the construction.

The Bureau of National Statistics of the Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan with support of the Shanghai Data Exchange, has presented an analytical paper exploring the economic potential of data.The document outlines approaches to establishing a data exchange – a regulated platform designed to enable the secure and transparent exchange, valuation, and monetization of data among government bodies, businesses and other participants in the digital ecosystem.Development of the data market is regarded as a key direction of digitalization, as highlighted in the Address of the Head of State. The preparation of the paper aims to foster open dialogue and engage stakeholders in discussing the role of data as a new economic asset.The analytical paper reflects international best practices, as well as the legal and technological aspects of establishing such platforms, and considers the expected economic impacts – including improvements in data quality, the promotion of innovation, and the creation of new models of collaboration.Joint work with the Shanghai Data Exchange made it possible to incorporate global experience and advanced approaches to organizing data trade and exchange.“A data exchange is a regulated platform that ensures secure and managed sharing of verified data and data products among market participants. Its establishment in Kazakhstan will create the institutional foundations for lawful and safe data circulation while ensuring the protection of data owners’ rights and personal data” – said Mr. Aset Irgaliyev, Chairman of the Agency.China’s experience demonstrates that the data market can serve as a new driver of growth – in 2022, the volume of data transactions there increased by 42%. According to OECD estimates, effective data exchange can contribute up to 2.5% to a country’s GDP.The establishment of a data exchange in Kazakhstan will mark an important step toward forming a regional hub for data exchange and monetization, opening new opportunities for participants in the digital ecosystem and strengthening the competitiveness of the national economy.The analytical paper is available on the official websites of the Agency and the Bureau.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/aspr/press/news/details/1087428?lang=kk
