General information about Science

SCIENCE IS THE DRIVING FORCE OF PROGRESS

Science in general and legal science in particular is a sphere of human activity whose main function is the development and theoretical systematization of objective knowledge about the surrounding reality. Science is a form of social consciousness.

Science has been, is, and will continue to be a driving force for the progressive development of society and humanity as a whole.

Legal science of sovereign Kazakhstan, at the present stage of development, as an integral part of public consciousness, studies the legal reality. Today, legal science is designed not only to study and systematize legal realities, but also to develop concrete proposals for those public relations that need to be regulated by law.

The main task of legal science is to clear the way for law and legislation. The achievements and results of legal science should be used by the legislator in the process of law-making activities in the preparation of legal acts, their improvement.

Legal science must respond in a timely, objective and adequate manner to all changes occurring in society and the state in order to promptly make proposals to the legislator on those public relations that need to be regulated by the relevant norms of law and legislation.

Unfortunately, we have to state that the legal science of Kazakhstan is currently going through "not the best days", but I am optimistic about the future and am confident that the domestic legal science will be reborn and flourish. Legal science plays a leading role in building legal statehood in our country, is the theoretical basis of the legislative process, and therefore the progressive development of society and the state. It serves as the basis for legislation aimed at protecting human rights and freedoms.

Today, the D. A. Kunaev Eurasian law Academy has a sufficient research base and is represented by leading scientists of Kazakhstan, such as Professor Zhalairi O. sh., Professor Aitkhozhin K. K., Professor Uvarov V. N., Professor alibayeva G. A. and others.

I would like to wish my colleagues fruitful research work, especially in remote work.

SCIENCE DAY

April 12 in the Republic of Kazakhstan is known as the "Day of Scientific Workers". Scientists, researchers and employees of scientific and education organizations celebrate their professional holiday on this day. "Day of Scientific Workers" solves an important task – a national commitment to the use of science for the benefit of society.

On October 20, 2011, the Decree of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 164 established the "Day of Scientific Workers", which is since annually celebrated on April 12. The celebration was first held in 2012.

The holiday’s date was dedicated to the birthday of the first President of the Academy of Sciences of the Kazakh SSR Kanysh Imantaevich Satpayev. The great scientist-geologist K.I. Satpayev was not just elected the first President of the Academy of Sciences, but was in fact its creator, having put a lot of effort to it. Today, the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic continues to be the main hub of science and research of Kazakhstan.

Of course, Eurasian Law Academy anmed after D.A. Kunaev did not stay away from this celebration: today, on April 12, our alma mater hosts the "Science Week", which pursues two important goals: first, to sum up the research activities of the Academy, and secondly, to attract prospective scientists - students, undergraduates and doctoral students. Variety of round tables, lectures, meetings with famous scientists are being held for them. The Academy has seen an increase in the number of scientific publications in international publications, an increase in the number of international scientific contacts all of which indicates the development of research cooperation, increased access to international information resources, etc. In addition, the "Science Week" at the Eurasian Law Academy is also an occasion to draw the public's attention to current issues, draw attention to the challenges currently faced by science, and increase society’s support for scientific activities.

Science and innovation are key components of the success of a modern university. Science is the engine of technological progress, the key to social development. Scientists of the Eurasian Law Academy have also made a great contribution to the development of legal science for more than two decades. Their research activities contribute the achievements of both foreign and Kazakh science, as well as open new horizons for research.

Department of Constitutional, International Law and Customs affairs

In connection with the celebration of Science Day in Kazakhstan, we would like to congratulate our colleagues on the holiday and wish you health and creative success during this difficult time!

The Department of Constitutional, International Law and Customs affairs of our Academy is worthy of recognition as a department of active scientific activity. It has a strong professional composition. Only one list of the names of professors, doctors of law speaks volumes. The rector of the Academy, O. Zhalairi, as a member of the Legal Policy Council under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, takes an active part in the development of topical issues of modern law and legislation. Professor K. Aitkhozhin one of the most productive experts in the field of constitutional law of the country. Professor E. Duysenov successfully works in the field of research on problems of public administration, the relevance of which is discussed not only in scientific forums, but also shares its views on the pages of popular media, as well as conducts scientific examination of the current constitutional law "On the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan" and the current law "On the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan".

Professor G.A. Alibayeva, Vice-Rector for Research and International Relations, organizer of all scientific and international activities of teachers and students of the university. Associate Professor B.K. Ilyasova, Vice-Rector for Educational and Methodological Work, organizer of the educational process at the Academy. Professor E.Z. Bekbaev and Professor E.N. Rakimbaev came from the public service, having extensive experience working in the highest authorities. Professor O. Samatov, specializing in international law and international relations, actively cooperates with international organizations, directly combines theory with practice. Professor G.T. Baisalova, a former customs officer, is now a successful specialist in the field of customs. Associate Professor O.K. Maybasarov - pre-historical sciences, especially the history of Kazakhstan. Associate Professor K.S. Birzhanova, in addition to being interested in the theory of state and law, is actively engaged in the development of students, leading the Scientific and Student Club on the problems of the modern state and law. Senior Lecturer K. Khavdal is an experienced teacher and mentor in the Kazakh branch. Young and very promising teachers of the department: Ph.D. Associate Professor D. Abdіlda - an example of discipline and order; Lecturer Zh. Tarap is deputy head of the department, manages to combine scientific with a large organizational work. Masters of Law are E. Altynbaev, D. Muzapar, A. Assanova, Sveta Li, they recently joined our team and became its active part. The experience and authority of venerable scientists, the enthusiasm and energy of young people create at the large department an unusually creative atmosphere of direct discussions of pressing problems of education and science, during which interesting and promising ideas arise, from the point of view of scientific research, of practical significance.

These discussions become a storehouse of knowledge for young teachers who enthusiastically pick them up and include them in the educational process and scientific publications.

The main direction of scientific activity of the department is the study of the modern constitutional process in the Republic of Kazakhstan, a wide aspect of which is due to a number of problems of the socio-economic, political, legal, moral state of the country. Accordingly, the main areas of research were those objective and subjective circumstances that form the basis of the constitutional and legal development of the country. The most relevant of them became the subject of a collective study of the planned theme "Scientific and theoretical foundations of the essence and content of the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan." This monographic study reflected such pressing issues of today as the need for structural changes in government, the difficult relations of local government with the population related to the implementation of adopted state programs that affect the basic interests of members of society.

The broad coverage of constitutionalism, as a doctrine of the Constitution and as a guide to the action of society, the state, and the individual, has found expression in numerous publications. The main ideas and suggestions were tested at various levels of scientific and practical events conducted by public authorities and scientific communities. The timeliness and scientific validity of these ideas, the high professionalism of the members of the department became the basis for cooperation with the Parliament, the Constitutional Council, the Institute of Legislation and Legal Information of the Ministry of Justice and relevant local government agencies. Particularly close relations of the department have developed with the Constitutional Council of the country, which are carried out in joint scientific and practical conferences, round tables, scientific seminars, in expert opinions on the conformity of the current norms of law with the Constitution, in scientific article-by-article comments of the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Thus, when writing a Scientific and practical commentary on the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Kazakh and Russian languages in 2015 and 2018, scientists professors O. Zhalairi, K. Aitkhozhin, G. Alibayeva, E. Duysenov participated.

Persistent attention was directed to the defining significance of the ideological function of the Constitution, which until now has been shyly either suppressed or mentioned in passing. (K. Birzhanova. Ideological function of the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan.)

Particular interest was shown in the study of topics aimed at justifying the priority of the second section of the Constitution "Man and citizen". The authors in their research focus not only on their theoretical justification, but also give real ideas about the most vulnerable social areas, such as the legal status of children and women. As a result of these studies, proposals were made to strengthen guarantees of their constitutional rights and effective measures to protect their legitimate interests. (G. Alibayeva. Influence of international norms on the protection of the rights of minors in Central Asia).

In addition, the Russian literature, which has practical significance, as it turned out, there is not enough comparative state and legal research of regional significance. To our credit, this gap is filled by the research of professors K. Aitkhozhin, E. Duysenov, E. Rakimbaev.

All research is conducted on the basis of analysis of the state of constitutional norms for compliance with the real needs of social development, their direct effect and direct application.

Numerous scientific articles confirm the comprehensive approach to this topic, and the knowledge and conclusions obtained are reflected in the educational process.
