The new Constitution adopted in Kazakhstan in 2026 is an important step towards modernizing the country's legal system and improving the governance structure of the state. The new Preamble, for the first time in history, officially enshrines a number of fundamental principles at the Constitutional level.

The new Preamble defines human rights and freedoms as the main direction of state activity. This is a fundamental principle of a citizen-oriented democratic state.

The document recognizes interethnic and interfaith harmony, unity in society as the main pillars ensuring the stability of the state. Sovereignty, independence, unitary structure, and territorial integrity are enshrined in the Constitution as immutable, unshakable principles.

The new Constitution enshrines the principles of justice, rule of law, and environmental protection for the first time at the constitutional level. This is a new step in creating a modern state and a legal society. According to the new Constitution, state power originates from the people. That is, the people of Kazakhstan are the only source of power. Thus, the new Preamble defines the directions of legal, social, and environmental development of Kazakhstan, combining the country's historical traditions and modern values.
