Law and Order as the Foundation of a Safe Society: Meeting with Students Held at KazNU

A meaningful meeting with students on the topic “Law and Order as the Foundation of a Safe Society” was held at the Higher School of Economics and Business of Al-Farabi Kazakh National University. The event, aimed at enhancing the legal literacy and strengthening the civic responsibility of young people, was jointly organized by the Higher School of Economics and Business and the Center for Public Development of the Department of Internal Policy of Almaty.

Today, law and order serve as an important foundation not only for social stability but also for the safety of every citizen in everyday life. In this regard, the main objective of the meeting was to help young people gain a deeper understanding of their rights and responsibilities, foster a culture of respect for the law, and provide practical information aimed at preventing offenses.

The event was attended by Dauren Askarovich Kobeev, Senior Operational Officer for Specially Important Cases of the Department for Combating Drug-Related Crime of the Almaty City Police Department, Police Lieutenant Colonel; Guldana Amangeldiyevna Kuanaliyeva, Head of the Department of Customs, Financial and Environmental Law at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University; and Gulnur Koishinovna Rasheva, PhD, Senior Lecturer at the same department.

During the meeting, students received information on the constitutional and legal development of Kazakhstan, including the key areas of the new Constitution. The participants also discussed in detail issues related to the prevention of offenses, combating drug-related crime, legal responsibility, compliance with public order, and ensuring public safety.

Police Lieutenant Colonel Dauren Askarovich Kobeev emphasized the importance of preventing offenses among young people, including drug-related crimes, and shared valuable information based on specific practical examples and real-life situations. The experts noted that young people's knowledge of legal requirements and their compliance with them play an important role in preventing various legal risks.

Guldana Amangeldiyevna Kuanaliyeva and Gulnur Koishinovna Rasheva provided students with explanations aimed at enhancing their legal literacy, with particular attention paid to citizens' rights and responsibilities, legal liability, and the development of a strong legal culture.

The event also highlighted the important role of young people in ensuring public safety. A safe society is shaped not only through the efforts of law enforcement agencies, but also through the conscious attitudes and responsible actions of every citizen. A young person who knows their rights, understands their responsibilities, and respects the requirements of the law is an important part of a society with a high level of legal awareness.

Promoting the principle of “Law and Order” among young people is an important step aimed not only at developing their legal awareness but also at fostering a greater sense of responsibility for the future of the country. From this perspective, open meetings organized for students are of great educational and informative value.

At the conclusion of the meeting, the students thanked the speakers and took commemorative photographs. The meaningful discussion once again helped young people recognize the importance of knowing and respecting the law, while also demonstrating the close connection between legal literacy and civic responsibility.
