МКЮ приветствует возможность представить свои комментарии Универсальному периодическому обзору (УПО) Казахстана.

- widespread attacks on the judiciary and its members;
- the abuse of the state secrets privilege in order to obstruct the prosecution and trial of international crimes, and the failure to define torture as a criminal offence in its domestic legislation.
