Development of research, practice and teaching of international law in Kazakhstan in the middle of the 20th – the first quarter of the 21st centuries

Abstract

The article considers the directions of the formation of research, practice and teaching of international law in Kazakhstan in the middle of the 20th – early 21st centuries. In the modern history of legal and political thought, the history of international legal science remains insufficiently studied. Its history contains a certain amount of raw information, indicating the level of political consciousness and legal thought, as well as containing data on the history of the formation and development of the science of international law. The relevance of the article was determined by the importance of preserving the scientific legal heritage, the possibility of using its achievements, the need to study the history of international legal science.

Of particular significance is the study of the activities of researchers who pioneered international legal science in Kazakhstan: A.A. Akkushkarov, Ya.B. Belson, U.S. Dzhekebayev, M.K. Yermagambetov, T.M. Kulteleyev, N.S. Sagindykov, M.A. Sarsembayev, etc. The subsequent development of international legal science is associated with monographic and other studies of the prominent legal scholar M.A. Sarsembayev.

The study of the history of the science of international law, as part of the political and legal consciousness, is legitimate. Its resources contain a large potential that has not been fully used, and contribute to the formation of a direction for further research. An analysis of the formation and development of international legal science in Kazakhstan provides an opportunity to summarize some of the results of development in general, and to identify the key issues in its history.
