The Constitutional Commission played a key role in the process of developing a new Constitution in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The main task of the Commission was to develop legally sound proposals in the context of constitutional reform that met the needs of society.
The commission consisted of 130 people, including legal scholars, maslikhat chairmen, representatives of the National Kurultai, members of regional public councils, experts, and heads of the scientific community and the media. This composition allowed for a comprehensive and professional discussion of the reform.
The Office of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Kazakhstan was appointed as the working body of the Commission, which provided systematization of proposals and legal expertise. The Commission meetings were held in an open format, and well-known lawyers, human rights defenders, public activists, deputies and political scientists spoke at the meetings.
In addition, the work of the commission was broadcast live and widely and in detail reported in the media. This clearly demonstrates that the new draft Constitution was developed in accordance with the principles of openness, transparency, and public oversight.
