Abstract

. This article discusses issues related to the implementation of the norms of the Convention on the Protection of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities ratified by the Republic of Kazakhstan. The author analyzes the situation in Kazakhstan and reveals the problematic issues related to the protection of the rights of persons with disabilities.

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), as well as other international instruments, is an instrument to promote, protect and ensure the rights of persons with disabilities so that they can fully participate in society and enjoy the same freedoms and opportunities like others. The Republic of Kazakhstan has ratified almost all major human rights agreements, including the CRPD. However, the process of implementing international standards set out in the provisions of the conventions, is still far from perfect. As a result, numerous disabled people in our country still face certain obstacles in the way of exercising their rights.

In our research we will rely on local and international legal basis such Law on “On social protection of persons with disabilities in the Republic of Kazakhstan”, National plan to ensure the rights and improve the quality of life of persons with disabilities in the Republic of Kazakhstan until 2025, Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities 2006, Declaration of human rights 1948, International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights etc.

In conclusion, the author puts forward his proposals for improving the situation in the country. It is recommended to improve the monitoring of the implementation of standards at the national and local levels of government, as well as to introduce educational programs that explain to potential employers the rights and obligations of persons with disabilities in the field of work. In addition, it is proposed to expand the influence and participation of such international organizations as Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and the UN in protecting the rights of people with disabilities in our country.
