The article is devoted to the study of the human right to water in the context of international documents and its implementation in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The author analyses key international instruments, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (1966), and UN Resolution 64/292 (2010), emphasising their importance in consolidating the right to water as a fundamental human right.Special attention is paid to the problems of water supply in Kazakhstan, including water scarcity, pollution of water bodies, inefficient management and cross-border disputes. The purpose of the article is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of international legal standards regarding the human right to water and to investigate the mechanisms for their implementation in the Republic of Kazakhstan, identifying key challenges (resource scarcity, transboundary disputes) and substantiating recommendations for improving water policy based on global best practices. The article suggests measures to improve the situation, such as strengthening the legal framework, developing international cooperation with neighboring countries (Russia, China, Uzbekistan), introducing modern technologies for water purification and reuse, as well as raising public awareness of the importance of water conservation. The author also examines the successful experience of countries such as Finland and Singapore in water resources management, suggesting adapting their approaches for Kazakhstan. The results of the study emphasize the need for an integrated approach to solving water problems, including legal, technological and educational measures. The article may be helpful to specialists in environmental law and natural resource management, as well as to government agencies dealing with water policy issues.
