The Constitutional Court of Kazakhstan congratulated the country's citizens on the entry into force of the new Constitution, which came into effect on July 1, 2026. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.
The court noted that the document opens a new stage in the constitutional development of the republic, and the Constitutional Court will continue to exercise constitutional control, ensuring the supremacy of the Basic Law, protecting its highest legal force, and uniform understanding of constitutional values.
"The entry into force of the new Constitution marks the beginning of a new stage in the constitutional development of the Republic of Kazakhstan, in which the highest value of the state remains the person, their dignity, rights and freedoms, and the supremacy of the Constitution serves as a solid foundation for sustainable development, legality and justice," the statement said.
The Constitutional Court reminded that the new Constitution was adopted at a republican referendum on March 15, 2026, and officially came into force on July 1. According to the agency, it was the expression of the will of citizens that laid the foundations for a new stage in the country's development.
Earlier, Kursiv wrote about what changes came into force along with the new Constitution of Kazakhstan.
The new Constitution represents a major reform of Kazakhstan's political and legal system. Key provisions of the document aim to expand human rights, strengthen the balance of powers, and increase the independence of the judiciary. The role of the Constitutional Court is particularly important in ensuring compliance with constitutional norms and verifying the conformity of laws with the basic law.
The referendum was held on March 15, 2026, where an overwhelming majority of citizens supported the new Constitution. This step was a significant milestone in Kazakhstan's democratic development. With the entry into force of the new Constitution, amendments were made to a number of legislative acts, including reforms in the electoral system, local self-government, and the judiciary.
The statement by the Constitutional Court is aimed at ensuring the stability and legality of the new constitutional order. The court will continue its work on constitutional control, guaranteeing that the activities of state bodies comply with the basic law.
The constitutional reform in Kazakhstan is part of a broad program to modernize the country's political system. The new Constitution aims to strengthen the protection of citizens' rights and freedoms, as well as to improve the efficiency of public administration. The role of the Constitutional Court remains key in this process, as it guarantees compliance with constitutional norms.
The entry into force of the new Constitution is a historic moment for Kazakhstan. This document lays the foundation for a new stage in the country's development, where human rights and freedoms take center stage. The Constitutional Court, in turn, expressed its readiness to protect these values and ensure the stability of the constitutional order.
