Practical aspects of Kazakhstan’s interaction with the UN in the field of cybersecurity

Abstract

UN and other international organizations, applying a variety of strategic methods and regulatory instruments
to create and implement effective international cybersecurity standards. The increasing risks associated with
cyberterrorism, cyberintelligence, and interference in the sovereignty of states through cyberspace necessitate
expanded international cooperation. Consequently, the UN’s role in coordinating efforts to establish common
principles and rules of conduct for states in the cyber environment is growing, reflected in the adoption of
new resolutions and the expansion of the mandate of the Open-Ended Working Group on Cybersecurity.
Structural, logical, and dialectical approaches were used to analyze Kazakhstan’s cybersecurity legislation.
The theoretical foundation of the study was formed by examining international law, academic papers, and
materials from international organizations. International commitments, particularly within the United Nations,
are key to the development and evolution of Kazakhstan’s cyber policy. Active engagement in international
projects, aligning national legislation with international standards, and implementing strategic programs con
tribute to enhancing the state’s cybersecurity and its integration into the global digital community. A signifi
cant factor in this process is the incorporation of international law into national legislation.
