The normative and legal basis of the Military Doctrine is the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan, laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan, decrees of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, other normative legal acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan and international treaties ratified by the Republic of Kazakhstan.
