IMPROVING THE INSTITUTION OF RECONCILIATION OF THE PARTIES AT THE STAGE OF PRE-TRIAL PROCEEDINGS IN THE CRIMINAL PROCESS OF KAZAKHSTAN

The article is devoted to the analysis of the institution of reconciliation of the parties in the criminal process of the Republic of Kazakhstan at the stage of pre-trial investigation. The Criminal Procedure Code of Kazakhstan provides grounds for termination of criminal proceedings against suspects and accused, among which reconciliation of the parties occupies a special place. This institution plays an important role in humanizing criminal policy and reducing the level of repression, ensuring victims' rights to compensation and reducing the burden on the judicial system.

The historical development of reconciliation in Kazakhstan dates back to Kazakh customary law and continues to evolve through changes in legislation, starting with the Criminal Code of the Kazakh SSR of 1959 and up to the present. Modern criminal legislation of Kazakhstan reflects international experience, but retains its national characteristics.

The article uses a comparative legal method, using statistical data on the termination of criminal cases over the past five years (2020-2024). The author analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of the reconciliation institute, suggests ways to improve its legal mechanism, and considers foreign models that can be adapted to the Kazakh legal system.
