MURAT ABENOV ON THE NEW CONSTITUTION: THE BALANCE OF SOVEREIGNTY AND INTERNATIONAL LAW HAS BEEN PRESERVED 04.02.2026
The issue of the relationship between international treaties and national legislation has been discussed by experts and the public for many years. Murat Abenov, a deputy of the Majilis, a member of the Constitutional Commission, explained the essence of the changes proposed in the new draft Constitution. "We, together with our colleagues, have carefully studied the draft norms. The important thing is that the new Constitution does not contain any provisions that would negate the legal force of international treaties ratified by the Republic of Kazakhstan and generally recognized norms of international law," the deputy said. According to him, Kazakhstan remains committed to the principle of mutual respect in relations with other states, as well as to the main international treaties on human rights within the framework of the UN. The draft text does not contain norms that would imply a waiver of international obligations regarding inalienable human rights and freedoms. Focusing on the first block of changes, the deputy noted the contradictions that arose due to the primacy of international treaties over laws. "The current Constitution provided that in the event of a conflict between a law and an international treaty, the norms of an international treaty could be applied. In practice, this led to the automatic application of the rules of an international agreement even in cases where they could negatively affect national legislation and the exercise of citizens' rights and freedoms," Abenov noted. The deputy also drew attention to the risks related to the quality of international treaties themselves. "Unspecified and unclear obligations that arose when concluding such contracts subsequently gained priority, making it impossible to correct them through the laws of Kazakhstan. This negatively affected the stability of the legal system," the speaker said. As Murat Abenov explained, in the new draft Constitution, international treaties will retain the status of existing law, but the highest legal force will belong exclusively to the Constitution, without any reservations. The second block of changes concerns the procedure for applying international treaties. "Another shortcoming of the current Constitution is the norm that the procedure for the entry into force of international treaties "may be determined by the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan," Abenov noted. He reminded that the mentioned norm contradicts the basic principles of the Constitution. According to him, such a structure creates legal uncertainty, does not clearly indicate the competence of state bodies, and opens the way to legal disputes, especially in the areas of international trade, technical regulation, and compliance with standards. Murat Abenov also noted the importance of open ceremonies. "Adoption of laws through open and public procedures, including discussions within the Kurultai, clearly defining the powers and responsibilities of state bodies, determining the necessary financial resources, as well as parliamentary oversight mechanisms, will create a more effective and predictable system for fulfilling international obligations," he said. As Abenov noted, a clear hierarchy, in which the highest legal force belongs only to the Constitution, makes the legal system more understandable. "In this case, the main goal of constitutional regulation is to ensure the stability of basic constitutional values, legal guarantees for citizens, and the compatibility of legislation," the deputy concluded.
DETERMINING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CONSTITUTION AND INTERNATIONAL LAW STRENGTHENS THE FOUNDATION OF THE ENTIRE LEGAL SYSTEM OF OUR COUNTRY 04.02.2026
The state will include in the text of its Constitution the basic principles of international law, universal human values, and human rights and freedoms enshrined in international documents. This was stated by Majilis deputy, Doctor of Laws Unzila Shapak, at a regular meeting of the Commission on Constitutional Reform. He explained that the relationship between international law and national law is based not on supremacy and subordination, but on the principles of interaction, complementarity and coordination. In this regard, the proposed draft Constitution provides for basic provisions regarding international treaties. "Thus, to briefly summarize paragraph 1 of Article 5, the Republic of Kazakhstan does not renounce international obligations, but rather recognizes it as an important component of applicable law, that is, regulating public relations," the deputy clarified. That is, the draft Constitution stipulates that the mechanism for the application of international treaties on the territory of the country will be established by law. In this context, one of the main tasks is to prevent the direct or indirect restriction or weakening of national state sovereignty, which is protected as a matter of course. "That is, we recognize international obligations as part of existing law, apply them in accordance with legal requirements, and publish them, since they establish binding rules of conduct for subjects of public relations," the lawyer explained.
FOR THE FIRST TIME, OUR MILLENNIUM-YEAR HISTORY WAS RECORDED AS A CORE VALUE IN THE NEW CONSTITUTION 04.02.2026
For the first time, our millennial history has been written into the new draft Constitution as a key value. State Counselor Yerlan Karin said this at the 7th meeting of the Commission on Constitutional Reforms. According to him, the current 1995 Constitution does not contain a single word about history. "The phrase "Preserving the continuity of the millennial history of the Great Steppe" in the Preamble of the draft new Constitution testifies to the continuous continuity of our history, to the fact that Kazakhstan is the center of nomadic civilization. Thus, for the first time, our history is enshrined in the Constitution not as a declaration, but as a state value," said Erlan Karin. The concepts of "Great Steppe" and "thousand-year history" in the Preamble are concepts that testify to the historical entity of Kazakhstan and define its state identity. At the same time, the State Counselor emphasized that the new Constitution clearly states that the state language is Kazakh. "In particular, Article 9, paragraph 1, clearly states that "the state language of the Republic of Kazakhstan is the Kazakh language." That is, we have one state language, and that is the Kazakh language. There is no other state language. Our language is on a high pedestal, in its place. As long as our state exists, it will never fall below that pedestal. For this, we must preserve and protect this state. We must think about the unity of the country," Yerlan Karin noted. He also noted that there are many differences between the new draft Constitution and the current Constitution adopted in 1995. "The new draft Constitution is the result of proposals and initiatives received from citizens of the country, experts, public activists, and various organizations for more than six months, and the fruit of various lengthy discussions that have been held to date," said Erlan Karin.
CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM IN 2026: THE NEW CORE OF KAZAKHSTAN'S DEVELOPMENT IS KNOWLEDGE AND INTELLECT 04.02.2026
The 2026 constitutional reform will fundamentally elevate Kazakhstan's development trajectory to a new level. This reform is a turning point, aimed at abandoning a resource-dependent economic model and shaping the country's future through education, intelligence, and human capital. From now on, the main wealth of the state will not be mineral resources, but citizens with high intellectual potential, deep knowledge, and advanced thinking. At the constitutional level, education, science, culture, and innovation are enshrined as the main priority areas of the country's development. This is a solid foundation for long-term and sustainable growth. The reform will focus on improving the quality of education, supporting science, developing cultural values, and introducing innovative technologies. Especially in the era of artificial intelligence, intellectual development will become a key factor determining the competitiveness of the state. Kazakhstan thus chooses the development of human capital as a strategic goal, intending to leave to future generations a modern state with a strong intellectual economy, based on knowledge. This is not just a legislative change, but a renewal of national consciousness and a new philosophy of national development. Education and intelligence are the keys to Kazakhstan's future success.
JUSTICE, LAW AND ORDER – THE CORE VALUES OF THE NEW CONSTITUTION 04.02.2026
The New Constitution, which will be adopted as part of the constitutional reform of 2026, will clearly and systematically enshrine modern values responsible for the development of society. The Basic Law defines justice, the rule of law, and public order as the main orientations of the state. The new Constitution places special emphasis on environmental protection and enshrines the principle of careful treatment of nature at the constitutional level for the first time. This is an important step towards strengthening responsibility towards future generations. At the same time, a norm for the protection of rights in the digital space will be introduced. The protection of citizens' personal data and rights in the digital environment is considered an integral part of the rule of law. Preservation of traditional values also remains an important aspect of the Constitution. Marriage is defined as a voluntary union of a man and a woman, and the protection of the institution of the family is established as the duty of the state. Thus, the New Constitution establishes a value framework aimed at creating a just, secure, and people-centered society.

Seed phytoanalysis is the key to a healthy harvest 04.02.2026
High seed quality is one of the most important agronomic requirements. A large number of pathogenic microflora are concentrated on the surface of the grain. Therefore, phytopathological examination is essential during preparation for sowing.What is the most dangerous for agricultural producers? Pathogens that persist in seed material lead to significant yield losses and reduced grain quality. Fusarium-helminthosporium root rot, early blight, and bacterial blight affect both the grain itself and the plant's root system, leading to thinning of crops. Loose smut and common smut of cereal crops reduce the number of productive stems. Preparing the seed material and choosing the right seed treatment are essential for preventing disease development in the field and ensuring healthy seedlings.– All seed lots undergo phytoanalysis. The analysis is conducted in the laboratory during the winter. A certain number of seeds are placed in a moist environment in Petri dishes (transparent containers shaped like low, flat cylinders, covered with a transparent lid of a similar shape but slightly larger diameter) on filter paper. They are then kept in a thermostat at a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius for seven days. During this period, the plants awaken in the darkness, and, consequently, the microflora on the surface of the grain. After analyzing each seed, we determine which chemical should be used to treat a particular batch of seeds. Based on the phytosanitary analysis results, all farms receive a phytosanitary certificate. Specialists from the Republican State Institution "RMCFDIP" of the Committee for State Inspection of Agriculture in the Agro-Industrial Complex of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazakhstan, conducting phytosanitary examinations, can compare seed contamination data over several years. This helps decide on the need for seed treatment and the selection of a seed treatment with the appropriate spectrum of activity. – Seed phytosanitary analysis is necessary annually. Phytosanitary examination results vary widely. Everything depends on weather conditions during the growing season and harvest. For example, fusarium develops in a humid environment, especially if the year is rainy, the grain is immature, or if there is intense respiration during storage. Helminthosporium seed blight also has its own specific conditions. If the material is imported from regions with different climates, the phytotest results will differ.Chief Phytopathologist Zh.
