Ensuring the constitutional rights and freedoms of military personnel: a legal study

In the context of state formation, ensuring and protecting human rights in military service remains crucial. Military personnel, fulfilling their constitutional duty to protect the country, acquire fundamental rights and freedoms as outlined in the Constitution of Kazakhstan and international law. The study of effective mechanisms for protecting these rights holds both scientific and practical significance. The aim of this study is to analyze existing mechanisms for safeguarding the rights of military personnel and propose scientifically grounded improvements. The focus is on key issues of military legislation, protection measures, and the realization of rights. While the scientific significance of this  study lies in its comprehensive analysis of military personnel’s rights, its practical value is in applying the findings to enhance legislation and law enforcement practices. The methodology includes formal legal, comparative legal, systemic, and analytical methods. Ultimately, the study aims to identify key challenges in protecting military personnel’s rights and propose potential solutions. This study contributes to the development of military and constitutional law and has practical applications in the activities of government and law enforcement agencies.
