Berik Asylov on the general tasks and main accents in the work of the Prosecutor's Office on the implementation of the concept of "Law and Order"
In his January interview, Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev stressed that "it is necessary to implement the principles of justice everywhere, as the apple of our eye, to protect the unity of the people based on the concept of Law and Order."
I think everyone understands the deep meaning of the words spoken by the Head of State, and it is important not only to realize, but also to implement these principles. In general, the answer to your question lies in the ancient Roman expression "The law is harsh, but it is the law." This expression has not lost its relevance to this day, and its meaning, I would say, permeates the activities of the modern prosecutor's office, filling it with a new meaning.
As you understand, stability and harmony in society are unthinkable without law and order, which must become an axiom for every citizen. The great poet and philosopher Abai Kunanbayev believed that life without law and order would not be fair, and observing the law was the way to purity and well–being of the people.
The high quality of life of the population, free business, fair justice and impeccable functioning of the public administration system are impossible without respect for law and order by all subjects of legal relations, including entrepreneurs, organizations, mass media and, of course, the state apparatus.
The entire progressive world places law-abiding behavior and an inescapable response to offenses of paramount importance.
For example, in Finland, the usual fine for violations by road users is about 100 euros. But if the judge considers that, given the financial situation for a large businessman, such a sanction is not sensitive and will not deter him from new offenses, the court has the right to impose a fine of tens or even hundreds of times more on the guilty person for the same act, so that this person no longer commits offenses. The society of this country accepts such court decisions favorably.
In the United Arab Emirates, strict punishments combined with a highly effective monitoring system create an atmosphere of respect for the law, including from tourists who like to travel there.
In our country, crimes are subject to a wide range of sanctions, both strict and unrelated to isolation from society: restriction of freedom, monetary fines, community and correctional labor.
For example, in our country, real imprisonment is imposed by the courts, as a rule, only for serious crimes. Currently, 80 percent of people serving sentences in places of deprivation of liberty have been convicted of such crimes, and, as a rule, of a violent nature and for drugs.
