Human rights in Kazakhstan

 

Human rights, their genesis, social roots, the appointment is one of the endless problems of not only the legal and political but also religious, ethical, and cultural position of the state. Historical process of human creativity depends on the extent of the rights and freedoms, determination its social opportunities and benefits that determines the nature of life, a system of relations, and an interaction of relations between people in society. Therefore, the problem of human rights has always been a subject of intense class battles that were fought for the possession of rights and empowerment of people. History shows that each generation must protect the rights that mankind has not yet familiar with the situation in which effort isn’t required to maintain and protect the rights and freedoms.

Thus, human rights, as the specific requirements necessary minimum conditions for normal life have arisen in the primitive structure. These rights were defined generated by custom, ritual practice, aims to ensure interaction between members of the primitive society.

At the present time in the modern world, there are international legal instruments, documents establishing the universally recognized human rights standards that define the bar, below which the state cannot be omitted. The rights and freedoms are no longer only the internal affairs of States, now is the whole international community.

Kazakhstan had the honor to be elected chairman of the OSCE, and this honorable mission of our government to comply with a vengeance. At the same time is not resting on our laurels, but rather building up momentum.

It should be understood that the lion's share of human rights abuses in Kazakhstan accounted for the law enforcement system, but the reason is not in the "dictatorial regime» and a huge level of corruption in this particular sector of government. Corruption - the derivative again, not some mythical tyranny, and the generation of a low level of culture in society: legal and civil. Europe to contemporary notions of humanism was a century - through slavery, revolution, riots, and executions of members of the ruling dynasties. And yet the final form of human rights in view of the Western democracies have acquired only after World War II.

In fact, today the most important step towards finalizing Kazakhstan as a democratic state are not so appropriate action in the field of human rights just as the fight against corruption, the struggle for the rule of law, which has, direct relation to individual liberties. That corruption is now erected in our perception of a step above the law, is a real hindrance to strict compliance with the rules governing human rights. National Action Plan for Human Rights in the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2009-2012, which was created with the active participation of international and national experts, representatives of non-governmental sector - was a huge furor. It took into account the generally accepted democratic principles and standards in this area. To eliminate the flaws in cooperation with NGOs, the Commission on Human Rights and the Ombudsman conduct regular meetings, "round tables", seminars, and training sessions, make raids in the penitentiary system.

Complaints about violations of the rights that come from human rights NGOs in Kazakhstan, according to an agreement passed in the presidential commission, which, by the way words are included and most well-known authoritative representatives of civil society, regional NGOs with experience in the field of human rights. In the sphere of cooperation with international organizations and national human rights institutions of foreign countries there is a positive growth. For example, with the assistance of the UN Development Programme and the UNESCO Cluster Office in Almaty has been successfully launched a digital library of the Commission on Human Rights under President of the Kazakh and Russian languages. CB provides free legal information to the public in the protection of human rights.

Also among the international human rights organizations, which work closely with Kazakhstan, there are United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the International Organization for Migration, the European Commission, the UN Children's Fund "UNICEF". Thus, characterizing the overall activities of national human rights protection system, we can say that as a result of the reforms policy of respect, promote and protect human rights and freedoms in Kazakhstan found, so to speak, is irreversible.

In the study of human rights, they inevitably intersect of many disciplines, as well as all industry and procedural jurisprudence. Thus, based on international humanitarian law, it may be noted that:

·       Human rights - the highest value, and their respect for and observance - the duty of the state.

·       Ensuring the rights and liberties is incompatible with discrimination on any basis.

·       Personal, economic, political, social and cultural rights are the same; in a single system of rights is no hierarchy.

·       Human rights may be restricted by law only if there is a direct threat to state security and public safety, health or morals, law and the laws of others.
