Abstract
Some initiatives were established at international level in order to attain sustainable development in the mining sector, which is being discussed worldwide starting 1980s. The concept of sustainable development is defined as a development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the future generation’s ability to meet their own needs. The law of sustainable development is a cross-sectored system of legal thinking that was evaluated by the national and international economic law, environmental law and human rights law. In the reforms of mining law, which have been realized after 1990s, the sustainable development is used a focus concept. The mining codes were enacted under the influence of having provisions related to security of tenure, establishment of transparent mining administration, access to mining land, and competitive-fair fiscal regime. In this paper, sustainable development is defined as a concept and its legal dimensions are explained. The mining reforms, which is being considered in the context of the sustainable development, are examined and a resolution that offers view of de lege ferenda is proposed. In addition, the related regulations and practices in the current Turkish and Kazakh Mining Laws are also included.
