## What to check

When relying on an international treaty, read the official text, the act that establishes its status for Kazakhstan, the Constitution and the applicable sector-specific law together. The name or general subject of a treaty does not itself decide a concrete case.

## When there appears to be a conflict

The relationship between the documents is assessed against the specific provision, facts and procedure. A court or other competent body considers the official texts, evidence and its jurisdiction. This page does not predetermine the outcome of a particular dispute or the status of a particular treaty.

## Practical steps

1. Find the official published version of the treaty.
2. Verify its status for Kazakhstan and the relevant ratification act.
3. Identify the national-law provision and procedure that apply.
4. Obtain qualified advice or an explanation from the competent body for a concrete matter.

## Key Facts

- The official text and legal status of a treaty matter more than its title
- The Constitution, sector-specific law and procedure shape concrete application
- A conflict depends on the facts and decision of the competent body
- Check the official text together with the ratification act
