SUBJECT: KAZAKHSTAN TAKES STEPS TOWARDS RATIFICATION OF SLAVERY AND
TRANSNATIONAL CRIMES CONVENTIONS
1. Kazakhstan has taken another step towards ratification of the
Slavery Convention, Protocol of Changes and Amendments to the
Slavery Convention, and the Additional Protocol on Slavery
Abolishment (Slavery Convention).
2. The Slavery Convention was approved by the Mazhilis (the lower
chamber of Parliament) on December 12 and sent to the Senate (the
upper chamber) for action. Following Senate approval, the draft law
will be sent to President Nazarbaev for signature, which will
complete the process of Kazakhstan's accession to this convention
and the aforementioned protocols.
3. A Mazhilis working group was formed on December 4 to consider a
draft law on ratification of the UN Convention on Transnational
Crimes and three additional convention protocols. It is expected
that Kazakhstan will accede to the UN Convention on Transnational
Crimes shortly after ratification of the Slavery Convention.
