A/HRC/43/46/Add.2 organizing anti-terrorism protection of facilities vulnerable to terrorism based on said requirements. Developing such instructions will be driven by facilities of the central executive body, a state body directly subordinate and reporting to the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan that meet the criteria for classifying as vulnerable to terrorism. On paragraph 15 of the Report On December 20, 2019, at the second meeting of the National Council for Public Trust under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev instructed to humanize the article 174 of the Criminal Code, replacing the term “arousal” with a clearer term “incitement”. The bill also considers allowing persons who have served sentences under this article and who have an approval of law enforcement agencies to be excluded from the list restricting the rights to manage finances and property. In addition, it proposes to allow them to receive a minimum monthly wage per each member of the family and allow opening and maintaining bank accounts. On paragraphs 16, 19, 22, 25, 26, 57 and 59 of the Report Absolutely all legal entities established on the territory of Kazakhstan are subject to state registration, regardless of the purpose of their establishment, kind, type and nature of activities carried out, and regardless of its participants. All citizens, foreigners and stateless persons can practice any religion without registration. They can also freely establish religious associations. Legal requirements on the registration of religious associations are in line with international standards. They are one for all and transparent at all stages. The evidence for this is a steady growth of religious associations. Since the 1990s, their number has grown from 671 to 3,770, representing 18 religious denominations. The number of missionaries, in turn, increased by 6 times over 16 years and amounted to 546 people from more than 40 countries. Moreover, registration of religious organizations provides the opportunity to receive a number of tax advantages and benefits. Furthermore, having registered as a religious association, it receives tax preferences. In order to ensure harmonious relations between state and religious denominations, there is the Committee for Religious Affairs at the Ministry of Information and Social Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan. It interacts and assists with religious associations in exercising their rights. In general, the registration of religious associations is carried out to record the fact of its establishment, reorganization and termination. The registration procedure is quite simple and does not take a lot of time. Those who want to register go through this procedure without any issues. In accordance with Article 9 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated October 11, 2011, On Religious Activity and Religious Associations (hereinafter referred to as the Law), “citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan, foreigners and stateless persons, religious associations have the right to acquire and use religious literature, and other informational materials of religious content, religious objects at their own discretion”. In addition, importation into the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan of religious literature intended for personal use in one copy of each item is permitted. Importation of a large amount of religious literature shall be carried out by the registered religious associations after receiving an approval following a theological expert examination. 3
