Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This scientific article is dedicated to the legal analysis of the Republic of Kazakhstan's practice regarding the submission of reports to the United Nations human rights treaty bodies. The aim of this article is to conduct a scholarly analysis of the mechanism for submitting periodic reports by the Republic of Kazakhstan to the UN treaty bodies and to formulate certain proposals for improving this process. During this research, the author proposes the implementation of specific legislative and administrative reforms aimed at enhancing the existing national mechanism for submitting reports to the treaty bodies. This recommendation arises from the observation that the current configuration and legal management of the national mechanism require improvement to more fully meet contemporary demands in the context of Kazakhstan's steadily increasing volume of international legal obligations, including in the field of human rights.
