The issue of developing effective legal regulation of waste management and implementation of best practices in this area is relevant for many countries of the world. In the Republic of Kazakhstan, the development of a regulatory framework for waste management is still in its infancy. This situation poses a potential threat to the environment and public health. The question of this study is what are the obstacles to the effective implementation of international agreements in the field of waste management in Kazakhstan? What international legal instruments in the field of waste management are not fully used and what legislative initiatives need to be implemented in this regard? In order to assess the applicability of their regulations to the conditions of Kazakh law, the study examines such supranational legal instruments as, in particular, the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of hazardous wastes and their disposal, the Espoo Convention, Directive (EU) 2018/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council. As this study suggests, an impending problem for Kazakhstan is the issue of utilization of WEEE and the implementation of the Basel Convention regarding the issue of transportation and disposal of WEEE. Despite the growing interest in the issues of proper waste management, mechanisms related to the implementation of the Espoo Convention and the Aarhus Convention are poorly implemented in Kazakhstan. This study uses the method of political and legal analysis, with the help of which it examines the problems of the effectiveness of the implementation of international agreements in the field of waste management in the Republic of Kazakhstan and ways to overcome them. To achieve these goals, international legislative acts in the field of environmental protection and the legislation of the European Union and EU member states were analyzed, which made it possible to determine the possibility of applying foreign practices on legal regulation of waste management and implementation of international legal acts mechanisms in Kazakhstan. The study attempts to give a qualitative assessment of the elaboration of the legislative regulation of the waste management sphere in Kazakhstan. The solution of problems in the field of waste management at the state level can be feasible only with a systemic rather than partial reform of the legal framework. Based on the EU practices in the implementation of international and supranational environmental agreements, the optimal combination of state and market instruments would improve the regulatory framework of Kazakhstan in the field of waste management. In order to create the most beneficial effect in countering the accumulation of waste without harming the economy, it would be useful to apply proactive and preventive approaches to increase the responsibility and participation of all stakeholder groups.

在该领域制定有效的废物管理法律法规和实施最佳实践的问题与世界许多国家相关。在哈萨克斯坦共和国，废物管理监管框架的制定仍处于起步阶段。这种情况对环境和公众健康构成潜在威胁。本研究的问题是在哈萨克斯坦有效实施废物管理领域的国际协议的障碍是什么？废物管理领域的哪些国际法律文书没有得到充分利用，在这方面需要实施哪些立法举措？为了评估其法规对哈萨克法律条件的适用性，该研究审查了超国家法律文书，特别是：《控制危险废物越境转移及其处置巴塞尔公约》、《埃斯波公约》、欧洲议会和理事会指令 (EU) 2018/852。正如这项研究表明，哈萨克斯坦面临的一个迫在眉睫的问题是 WEEE 的利用问题以及关于 WEEE 运输和处置问题的巴塞尔公约的实施。尽管人们对适当的废物管理问题越来越感兴趣，但与执行《埃斯波公约》和《奥胡斯公约》相关的机制在哈萨克斯坦的执行情况不佳。本研究采用政法分​​析的方法，在此帮助下，它审查了哈萨克斯坦共和国废物管理领域国际协议的执行有效性问题以及克服这些问题的方法。为实现这些目标，对环境保护领域的国际立法行为以及欧盟和欧盟成员国的立法进行了分析，从而确定了在废物管理法律规制和实施国际哈萨克斯坦的法律行为机制。该研究试图对哈萨克斯坦废物管理领域立法规定的制定进行定性评估。只有对法律框架进行系统而非局部改革，才能在国家层面解决废物管理领域的问题。基于欧盟在执行国际和超国家环境协议方面的实践，国家和市场工具的最佳结合将改善哈萨克斯坦在废物管理领域的监管框架。为了在不损害经济的情况下在抵制废物积累方面产生最有益的效果，采用主动和预防方法来增加所有利益相关者群体的责任和参与将是有用的。国家和市场工具的最佳组合将改善哈萨克斯坦在废物管理领域的监管框架。为了在不损害经济的情况下在抵制废物积累方面产生最有益的效果，采用主动和预防方法来增加所有利益相关者群体的责任和参与将是有用的。国家和市场工具的最佳组合将改善哈萨克斯坦在废物管理领域的监管框架。为了在不损害经济的情况下在抵制废物积累方面产生最有益的效果，采用主动和预防方法来增加所有利益相关者群体的责任和参与将是有用的。
