IMPROVING THE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE LAW OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN ON THE RIGHTS TO PROFESSIONAL PROTECTION OF A SUSPECT (ACCUSED) OF THE DEFENDANT AT THE PRESENT STAGE

Abstract

The inalienable content of the rule of law is to protect and safeguard the rights and legitimate interests of those involved in criminal proceedings and particular suspects (accused) and defendants. In the current conditions of development and improvement of the rule of law, the individual's freedom, rights, and guarantees increase; hence, it is typical of criminal proceedings. The problems of ensuring the suspect's rights and legitimate interests (accused) and the defendant, improving the preliminary investigation and investigation bodies' activities, the Prosecutor's office, the court, and the bar are relevant. It was impossible to combat crime without paying due attention to the individual's rights in the criminal process. Building a state of the law in Kazakhstan involves strengthening the guarantees of citizens' rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests. This provision takes on particular importance in the field of criminal proceedings, which involves intrusion into the privacy of citizens, restriction of freedom and personal integrity, and the use of criminal-procedural coercion measures. The need to investigate the problems of professional protection is also caused by the consistent implementation of the Constitution's norms of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which holistically formulated the introductory provisions of the Concept of the rule of law to ensure the
realization of human rights and freedoms.
