INTRODUCTION Since the early 1990s, trafficking in persons has been among the major human rights problems in the transition countries of Central and Eastern Europe. In more recent years, however, "the focus of human traffickers ha[s] shifted to... Central Asia, a region fraught with social, political, and economic tension."' Existing research on the issue suggests that the fastest growth rates of trafficking are currently observed in the former Soviet Union, including Central Asia,2 and estimates that the region "is becoming the most important geographical source of trafficking in women in Asia."3 Further, trafficking in persons is a significant problem in the Central Asian countries of Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, * Mohamed Y.

  • Osce Conflict Management in Central Asia Fighting Windmills Like Don Quixote
    security and human rights 27 (2016) 479-497 brill.com/shrs osce Conflict Management in Central Asia Fighting Windmills like Don Quixote Pál Dunay Professor of nato and European Security Issues, George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany Abstract Conflicts and their management in Central Asia have never been prioritised by the osce although five states of the region are among its participating states. This has been due to that unlike in some other parts of the post-Soviet space most of the con- flicts did not threaten with military escalation, and the intensity of strategic rivalry is less noticeable in this distant part of the osce area than closer to the heart of E urope. The fact Russia is not a direct party to the conflicts in Central Asia also reduces the interests of many participating states. There was one high intensity conflict in the re- gion, the Tajik civil war that came too early for the osce. Lower intensity conflicts, ranging from border skirmishes, disputes about access to water, violation of rights of national minority groups, rigged elections are monitored and their resolutions are fa- cilitated by the organisation. Some of them, like the 2010 Kyrgyz-Uzbek conflict had such short shelf-life internationally that no consensus-based inter-governmental organisation could have effectively intervened into it. The osce has been successful in conflict management when the party or parties also wanted to break the stale-mate that the Organization could facilitate. Domestic change in some Central Asian states is essential for advancing the osces cooperative security approach.

  • Concordia Americas Summit in Bogotá
    CONCORDIA AMERICAS SUMMIT IN BOGOTÁ February 21, 2017 Metropolitan Club Bogotá, Colombia As an institution, Concordia is highly invested in the security and prosperity of the Americas and has prioritized collaboration across the Western Hemisphere as focal point of its agenda in 2017 and beyond. In partnership with Instituto de Ciencia Política Hernán Echavarría Olózaga, Concordia plans to hold a high-level convening of regional leadership in Bogotá, Colombia to address the most pressing challenges of the region. The Americas Summit in Bogotá will seek to discuss the future of Colombia as a nation, while also contextualizing this future beyond the region and more prominently within the global community. To accomplish this, the conversation will focus on three major issue areas including: regional corruption, the implementation of the recently approved peace deal, and a roadmap to achieving the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals. As evidenced in its mission, Concordia believes public-private partnerships are a key tool in addressing these issues, ensuring progress, and creating a more prosperous and sustainable future across the Americas. Co-Chairs of the Concordia Americas Summit in Bogotá Ambassador Juan Carlos Pinzón, Ambassador of Colombia to the United States of America Alfonso Gómez Palacio, President, Telefónica Colombia CONCORDIA AMERICAS SUMMIT IN BOGOTÁ SUMMIT FORMAT Concordia envisions this one-day Summit to take the format of a strategic dialogue. Concordia strategic dialogues feature 40-50 select individuals, including current and former heads of state, CEOs of leading corporations, and heads of multilateral organizations, who discuss particularly pressing global problems in-depth. These curated, interactive discussions, where everyone around the table is encouraged to participate, serve as high-level working groups.

  • Uzbekistan: Recent Developments and U.S. Interests
    Order Code RS21238 Updated August 27, 2008 Uzbekistan: Recent Developments and U.S. Interests Jim Nichol Specialist in Russian and Eurasian Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Summary Uzbekistan is a potential Central Asian regional power by virtue of its relatively large population, energy and other resources, and location in the heart of the region. It has failed to make progress in economic and political reforms, and many observers criticize its human rights record. This report discusses U.S. policy and assistance. Basic facts and biographical information are provided. This report may be updated. Related products include CRS Report RL33458, Central Asia: Regional Developments and Implications for U.S. Interests. U.S. Policy According to the Administration, “it is in the U.S. and Uzbekistan’s interest to promote democracy, respect for human rights, territorial integrity, and the transition to a market-based economy in order to bolster greater social and political stability.” However, the Uzbek government’s continued “repression of civil society, religious groups, and political opposition [decreases] options for U.S. assistance.”1 Cumulative U.S. assistance budgeted for Uzbekistan in FY1992-FY2007 was $845.5 million (FREEDOM Support Act and agency budgets). In FY2008, estimated budgeted assistance was $10.19 million, and the Administration has requested $7.94 million for FY2009 (FREEDOM Support Act and other Function 150 foreign aid, excluding Defense and Energy Department funds). The main priorities of U.S. assistance requested for FY2009 are planned to be democratization, healthcare, and agricultural reforms. Plans for FY2009 include support for local groups, lawyers, and 1 U.S.
