    Question

    What was the reason for the adoption of the new law on peaceful assemblies?

    Answer

    As you know, the head of State K. K. Tokayev proposed to carry out a number of political reforms in the Republic of Kazakhstan aimed at liberalizing political life.

    The draft law on peaceful assemblies is the first draft developed within the framework of Presidential initiatives.

    The current legislation regulating the organization and conduct of peaceful assemblies was adopted more than 25 years ago - in 1995.

    The time has come to instill the culture of rallies in the public consciousness. This is not just about changes to the current law, but about a conceptually new law that will regulate the organization and conduct of all forms of peaceful assembly.

    The relevance and timeliness of the development of this draft law was noted by domestic and international experts.
