The AIFC Court and IAC participated at the international conference ‘Constitution and Statehood: Dialogue Between Law and the Future’ organised by the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Kazakhstan dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

At the ‘Law and Order as The Foundation of Peace: Respect for Human Rights and State Stability’ session moderated by Mr. Bakyt Nurmukhanov, Deputy Chairman of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and Ms. Sarangoo Radnaaragchaa, United Nations Resident Coordinator in Kazakhstan, Mr. Christopher Campbell-Holt OBE, Registrar and Chief Executive of the AIFC Court and IAC, spoke about rule of law and enforcement of justice in the Eurasia region and beyond.

Mr. Campbell-Holt OBE highlighted the importance of the international legitimacy of States from a global legal perspective. He emphasised that strengthening legitimacy requires adherence to international law and respect for universally recognised human rights standards.

The AIFC Court and IAC are independent of the national courts of the Republic of Kazakhstan but cooperate closely on matters of mutual interest, including on enforcement of AIFC Court judgments in foreign countries, and the continual improvement of the administration of justice and the rule of law in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The AIFC Court and IAC support the Republic of Kazakhstan and other countries in the Eurasia region as dispute resolution ‘Centres of Excellence,’ applying and promoting the highest international standards of independence and impartiality in accordance with the rule of law.

The AIFC Court and IAC presented at their Tbilisi (Georgia) and Yerevan (Armenia) premises to lawyers and students to facilitate continued use of the AIFC Court and IAC to resolve disputes involving investors doing business in Kazakhstan and the wider Eurasia region.

In 2023, the AIFC Court and IAC launched world-class physical premises and digital technology in cooperation with partners in eight countries in Eurasia, where strong business relationships with Kazakhstan exist. The AIFC Court and IAC have premises in Kazakhstan (Astana and Almaty), Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan, and in 2024 also launched premises in Beijing, China, to support Chinese investors doing business in Kazakhstan. The AIFC Court has arrangements to enforce its judgments in these countries.

The AIFC Court and IAC are committed to providing access to high-quality justice and to applying the highest international standards of independence, impartiality, and the rule of law. The AIFC Court and IAC are trusted by global corporations and investors with business in Kazakhstan, and increasingly trusted by investors from the above listed countries, and have been consistently recognised by user feedback and inclusion in more than 12,000 business contracts as the preferred international dispute resolution institutions in Eurasia.
