9 pages / 267 KB

​Joint Briefing paper for Government Delegations ahead of the Universal Periodic Review of Tajikistan (25th session of the UPR Working Group, May 2016)


The chart attached provides an overview of priority concerns relating to torture, ill-treatment and impunity in Tajikistan. It also cites key recommendations made by the United Nations (UN) Committee against Torture (CAT), the Human Rights Committee (HRC) and the Special Rapporteur on Torture (SR) since Tajikistan was considered in the first cycle of the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) in 2011. In addition, it identifies a number of questions that we kindly ask Government delegations to raise during the interactive dialogue and a list of suggested recommendations aimed at addressing the most pressing concerns.


The document was jointly issued by the NGO Coalition against Torture in Tajikistan, International Partnership for Human Rights (IPHR, Belgium), Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights (HFHR, Poland) and the World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT).
