established:

On June 10, 1996 the Executive Secretariat of the Commonwealth of Independent States sent to Economic Court inquiry for interpretation of the concepts "refugee", "migrant", "displaced person" in relation to the Agreement on the help to refugees and displaced persons, the prisoner on September 24, 1993 in Moscow.

The letter of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan N. A. Nazarbayev in which the question of discrepancies in interpretation of the concepts "refugee", "migrant", "displaced person" of official organs of the Commonwealth and mass media of the Commonwealth of Independent States is brought up formed the basis of the address. That circumstance that persons which were disposed from the Republic of Kazakhstan on arrival to the Russian Federation or the Azerbaijan Republic are quite often considered by Interstate statistical committee of the Commonwealth of Independent States as refugees and displaced persons though actually them are not is given as example. It creates misunderstanding and artificial difficulties in relations between the State Parties of the Commonwealth of Independent States.

Having heard, the judge-speaker Bekenov R. A., having analyzed the conclusion of the General adviser of Economic Court Fisenko I. V. and having researched the documents which are available in case, the Economic Court comes to the following conclusions.
