SOVEREIGNTY OF THE JUDICIARY

Abstract

Strengthening the independence and autonomy of the judiciary in the Republic of Kazakhstan, as one of the branches of state power, is a constant course of judicial and other state-legal reforms. The relevance of this goal of increasing the efficiency of the judicial process is marked by new socio-political demands of the current stage of the country's historical development. The independence and autonomy of the judiciary in the Republic of Kazakhstan as a constitutional and legal goal-setting is mediated by the state and implementation of such state-legal institutions as state independence and state sovereignty. Only a politically and economically independent state that has the sovereignty of all its state-legal, political, social institutions, as well as the military-political domestic potential, which is a sovereign source of security for its citizens, can guarantee effective judicial and legal protection of the rights and freedoms of man and citizen, the protection national interests based on traditional geopolitical, cultural and state-legal values. The historical event, marked by the collapse of the USSR and the emergence of Kazakhstan on an independent path of geopolitical development, made high demands on the institutions of power and administration, their reconstruction and effective performance in the new conditions. The role of the judiciary was emphasized in the context of the introduction of democratic principles for the protection of human and civil rights and freedoms, their priority over other institutions, including state ones. It was under these conditions that the courts had to reorient the organizational, legal and professional components of their activities. After all, the institutions of democracy, which were not previously declared in Kazakhstan and were not implanted in the realities of the public and political life of the state, required structural restructuring, determining the balance of powers for interaction in order to implement the power delegated by the people of Kazakhstan to the institutions of power and management. However, the current trends in democratic processes in some states, including post-Soviet ones, demonstrate some contradictions resulting from the loss of their sovereign rights in certain areas of socio-political activity.
