A/HRC/43/10/Add.1 15. Thus, in 2019, the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan at the High Level Segment on Statelessness held within the 70th session of the UNHCR Executive Committee made a commitment to improve access to birth registration procedures by amending national legislation to ensure that every child is registered at birth. 16. The relevant legislative amendments were adopted on November 25, 2019. 17. In addition, the Mazhilis of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan approved legislative amendments on the regulation of migration processes. The draft law aims to create favorable conditions for ethnic repatriates arriving in their historical homeland, build an effective system of external labor migration focused on meeting the needs of the country's economy, expand the legal framework in the field of regulating migration processes, taking into account international best practices. II. Equality and non-discrimination 18. The Republic of Kazakhstan noted the following recommendations: 139.44; 139.45; 139.46; 139.47; 139.49; 139.50; 139.51; 139.52; 139.53; 139.54. 139.44, 139.45, 139.46, 139.47, 139.49, 139.50, 139.51, 139.52, 139.53, 139.54 19. The legislation provides for the principles of non-discrimination based on the ground of sex. In this regard, and also taking into account the practice, we see no reason to strengthen the legal framework. Kazakhstan has chosen this path of legislative consolidation of the mechanisms for eliminating direct or indirect discrimination, taking into account its specific characteristics in various fields. 20. In addition, the draft law on family and gender policy issues is currently undergoing approval. The draft law aims at strengthening protection against all forms and manifestations of discrimination on the ground of sex and at creating the necessary conditions for the realization of the rights of women and men in all spheres of labor, public and personal life. III. Freedom of religion or belief, expression, association and peaceful assembly, as well as the right to participate in public and political life 21. The Republic of Kazakhstan noted the following recommendations: 139.98; 139.99; 139.100; 139.109; 139.111; 139.114; 139.115; 139.116; 139.122; 139.123; 139.244. 139.98, 139.99, 139.100, 139.109, 139.111, 139.114 22. In accordance with the assignment of the Head of State, a new Law on Peaceful Assemblies is being developed by state authorities together with civil society as part of the address of the Head of State dated September 2, 2019 on the concept of “Hearing State”. 23. At the same time, the public danger of violating the procedure for organizing and conducting assemblies, rallies, pickets, street processions and demonstrations is that it encroaches on the normal activities of the governing bodies, as well as mass disturbances, destruction of buildings and constructions and other harmful consequences can occur as a result of violation of this order. 139.115, 139.116 24. Kazakhstan recognizes that freedom of assembly and association is a democratic institution of political activity of citizens, which is subject to constant development. 25. Participation or non-participation of a citizen in the activities of a public association cannot serve as a basis for limiting his rights and freedoms. 4
