This article is devoted to the study of legal and institutional mechanisms for the rehabilitation of torture victims, formed in the Republic of Kazakhstan as a result of the implementation of the Convention and the OSCE against Torture and Other Cruel or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. Following the results of the protection of Kazakhstan's third periodic report on the implementation of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, a number of recommendations were issued by the UN Committee against Torture in 2014, including recommending that all victims of torture provide fuller rehabilitation. It should be recognized that for modern Kazakhstan the problem of rehabilitation of victims of torture has a scientific novelty and is actualized by the recommendations of the UN Committee Against Torture. To date, no attempt has been made to assess the existing system for providing rehabilitation services to victims of torture. The article analyzes the foreign experience of rehabilitation of victims of torture, the mechanisms involved and the resources for carrying out rehabilitation programs, as well as the rehabilitation system. The analysis allowed the author of the article to develop proposals and recommendations on extrapolation of foreign experience in the legal space of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Realization of these proposals will allow to form a system of rehabilitation of victims of torture in the Republic of Kazakhstan in accordance with international standards and in the light of the recommendations of the UN Committee Against Torture. As the main result of the research conducted in the article, the author proposed a variant of a pilot project for the rehabilitation of victims of torture and ill-treatment.
