BAIL IN EXTRADITION PROCEEDINGS UNDER ARTICLE 589-1 OF THE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE CODE OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN

The article examines the legal nature and practical application of bail in extradition proceedings under Article 589-1 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Kazakhstan. It is demonstrated that extradition detention operates within a specific legal regime shaped by international cooperation obligations, heightened flight risks and the absence of domestic criminal adjudication. Through doctrinal analysis of national procedural law and functional assessment of prosecutorial and judicial powers, the institutional limitations of extradition bail are revealed. Particular attention is paid to prosecutorial gatekeeping, the conditional scope of judicial discretion and the mandatory termination of bail following the final extradition decision. Comparative analysis of extradition practice in the United Kingdom, the United States and Germany illustrates alternative regulatory models, including continuous judicial supervision and non-custodial approaches. The article concludes that extradition bail in Kazakhstan primarily functions as a temporary securing measure and does not constitute a genuine alternative to extradition detention.
