Who Is Entitled to Apply to the Constitutional Court?

The President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Chairperson of the Kurultai, at least one-fifth of the total number of deputies of the Kurultai, the Prime Minister, citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Prosecutor General, and the Commissioner for Human Rights are entitled to apply to the Constitutional Court (Article 73 of the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan).

If a court finds that a law or another regulatory legal act subject to application infringes upon the rights and freedoms of individuals and citizens enshrined in the Constitution, it must suspend the proceedings and submit a request to the Constitutional Court to declare that act unconstitutional.
