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