State Award

The entry into force of the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan on July 1, 2026, defines the limits of the exercise of public authority, enshrines the system of fundamental rights and freedoms, and sets long-term guidelines for the state's development. The adoption of a new Constitution always signifies not only the renewal of the Fundamental Law but also a rethinking of the model of relationships between the state, society, and the individual. The Constitution significantly expands the system of fundamental principles guiding the republic’s activities—principles that encompass the protection of sovereignty and independence, the observance of human rights and freedoms, the assurance of the rule of law and public order, the strengthening of national unity, the improvement of the people's well-being, and the development of public dialogue. While safeguarding the foundation and structural integrity of our independence, we must substantially improve the system of public administration. This is a vital task requiring the concerted efforts of all stakeholders—including civil servants, academic institutions, research and political science centers, and the scholarly community. For his significant contribution to explaining the provisions of the new Constitution, strengthening the rule of law, and fostering legal culture, Zh.I. Ibragimov—Doctor of Law and Professor at the Department of Constitutional and Civil Law of the Faculty of Law—has been awarded the "Eren Enbegi Üshin" (For Distinguished Labor) medal by Decree of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
