OSCE/ODIHR Review of the Law on Political Parties, Adopted on 15 July in the Republic of Kazakhstan

The Law on Political Parties was adopted by the Parliament of Kazakhstan on 26 June and was submitted to the President for signature on 2 July. On 11 July, the Constitutional Court of Kazakhstan declared the Law in conformity with the Constitution of the Republic. The Law entered into force on 15 July following the President’s signature. According to the new Law, all existing political parties must re-register before 17 January 2003. This brief review will address the law of the Republic of Kazakhstan on political parties. This assessment is based on an unofficial English translation. It will attempt to analyze the law in the context of international norms for party regulations in pluralistic democratic States.
