Kazakhstan is advancing its judicial modernization efforts with support from the International Association for Court Administration (IACA), as articulated by Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev during a meeting with IACA President Pamela Harris. Tokayev underscored the importance of reforming the judicial system and ensuring the rule of law as vital components in establishing a state governed by law.
President Tokayev stated, “We are conducting extremely important reforms aimed at advancing law and order in Kazakhstan. We are convinced that the rule of law must be implemented in practice. I believe this is very important for ensuring the stability and prosperity of our country. Therefore, I count on further cooperation between the International Association and Kazakhstan and our judicial system.”
During the discussions, Harris highlighted the necessity of separating the Supreme Court from judicial administration as a best-practice standard globally.

Kazakhstan is set to modernize its judicial system in collaboration with the IACA, focusing on critical reforms essential for establishing the rule of law. The discussions led by President Tokayev illustrate a commitment to improving law and order through cooperation with international partners. The incorporation of technology in judicial proceedings presents promising prospects for more efficient court administration.
