Abstract:
The article gives a criminal and legal characteristic of the forced and/or unlawful removal of human organs or
tissue for transplants, which is criminalized under article 116 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan
dated 3 July 2014. The valuable comments and suggestions provided by the experts and the official
national crime statistics were compiled. This offense refers to the formal composition in the current amendment.
This is not entirely appropriate, because the harm is done to the victim's health. In order to address this
gap in article 116, Part 2, of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan should be provided socially
dangerous consequences, in the form of causing serious injury to health.
