PROBLEMS OF DEFINING THE LEGAL NATURE OF THE CONCEPT OF CORRUPTION IN KAZAKHSTAN

The article discusses one of the topical issues of combating corruption – the concept of corruption. In order to determine it, the authors conducts an in-depth analysis of international and national legislation, basic scientific approaches and international standards. As a result of the study, it was found that the definition of corruption used in the national legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan does not fully comply with international standards, including the provisions of the United Nations Convention against Corruption, the recommendations of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and the generally accepted concept in jurisprudence. In order to eliminate these gaps and improve the national legal system, the authors proposes a new, scientifically based definition. When developing the definition, the principles of legal technique are taken into account. The article contains the results of the study and specific recommendations.
