Constitutional Rights and Freedoms in the Digital Age Discussed

On 20 October 2026, at 11:00 a.m., a roundtable entitled “Constitutional Rights and Freedoms in the Digital Age” was held in Hall No. 4 of the Faculty of Law at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University.

The event was organized as part of a ten-day initiative to explain the provisions of the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan and raise public legal awareness ahead of Republic Day. The organizer was the Department of Theory and History of State and Law, Constitutional and Administrative Law of the Faculty of Law. The moderator was a Doctor of Legal Sciences and Professor Zhanar Kegembayeva. Second-year students of the Faculty of Law participated in the roundtable. The total number of participants was approximately one hundred.

The event aligns with United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 16, “Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions,” particularly Target 16.10, which calls for ensuring public access to information and protecting fundamental freedoms.

The roundtable aimed to explain the rights and freedoms enshrined in the Constitution, discuss their exercise and protection in the digital environment, and develop the legal culture of future lawyers.

The event addressed equality before the law, personal inviolability, freedom of expression, and the right of access to information. Particular attention was paid to personal data protection, privacy, the legal limits of digital surveillance, and cybersecurity.

One of the main areas of discussion was ensuring respect for human rights when using digital technologies. Emphasis was placed on the importance of complying with legal requirements when collecting, processing, and disseminating information, handling personal data responsibly when using electronic services, and understanding the mechanisms available to protect and restore violated rights.

The roundtable sought to connect students’ knowledge of constitutional law with practical issues and develop their skills in legal analysis and reasoned argument. The event formed part of the Department’s legal education activities ahead of Republic Day.
