At the meeting, the students presented an innovative project on protecting the rights of convicts in Kazakhstan.  This project was the winner of the Capstone Project competition, part of which was the research on the convicts’ rights.  They informed the audience that, based on the results of this study, they will develop recommendations for improving the national programmes in criminal penal law, criminal procedural law, and international law.

As part of the long standing collaboration, an agreement has been reached on naming an auditorium in KAZGUU University after Astana Women’s Council.  According to B.
