Title: Assessment of Juvenile Justice Reform Achievements in Kazakhstan

Summary: This report presents the findings of an assessment mission to Kazakhstan that took place from 16 to 30 August 2008. The assessment team found much that is positive: a commitment to the creation of a juvenile justice system that complies with international standards and best practices; strong cooperation with the international community; pilot specialized juvenile courts and juvenile police units; the specialized defence team in Almaty; the humanization of conditions in colonies; and the policy of early release of juvenile prisoners who show evidence of rehabilitation. The legislation is compatible with international standards in many respects. The report includes a number of recommendations for further improvements that can be made to strengthen the juvenile justice system in the country.

Title: Combatting Illicit Trade: Country Spotlight: Kazakhstan

Summary: Stakeholders in Kazakhstan - executives, policy -makers and law enforcement - estimate that 13% of all goods are purchased illicitly, the same as the European average. While the highest levels are reported in cigarettes (15%), medicines have seen the greatest growth rate, of 5% over the past three years. Kazakh consumers estimate total illicit purchases at 38%, the same as the European average. But there are differences across products, with alcohol ranking 7 percentage points higher than the European average and cigarettes at 9 percentage points below. Consumers say the highest levels of total illicit purchases can be found in films, at 62%. Kazakhstan is composed of very high levels of Bargain Hunters (23% vs. 14% for all of Europe), a similar number of Opportunists (42% vs. 40%), fewer Critics (24% vs. 32%) and Activists (11% vs. 14%). For each of these consumer segments, the most effective strategy to reduce illicit trade is quality assurance, though for Bargain Hunters, reducing cost and improving availability would be equally effective. Over the next three years, Kazakh executives will focus on changes centred around price, quality, and service (45%), and product authentication (45%). Policy officials will raise awareness through consumer campaigns and change penalties for retailers (both 60%). Law enforcement will focus on collaboration (with several initiatives prioritised by more than half of respondents), while also automating manual customs procedures (51%).
