  • Tajikistan 2013 Human Rights Report
    TAJIKISTAN 2013 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Tajikistan is an authoritarian state that President Emomali Rahmon and his supporters, drawn mainly from one region of the country, dominated politically. The constitution provides for a multi-party political system, but the government obstructed political pluralism. The November 6 presidential election lacked pluralism, genuine choice, and did not meet international standards. Security forces reported to civilian authorities. The most significant human rights problems included torture and abuse of detainees and other persons by security forces; repression of political activism and restrictions on freedoms of expression and the free flow of information, including the repeated blockage of several independent news and social networking websites; and poor religious freedom conditions as well as violence and discrimination against women. Other human rights problems included arbitrary arrest; denial of the right to a fair trial; harsh and life-threatening prison conditions; prohibition of international monitor access to prisons; limitations on children’s religious education; corruption; and trafficking in persons, including sex and labor trafficking. Officials in the security services and elsewhere in the government acted with impunity. There were very few prosecutions of government officials for human rights abuses. The courts convicted one prison official for abuse of power, and three others were under investigation for human rights abuses. Section 1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom from: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life In July and August 2012, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and the media reported that the government or its agents were responsible for injuring and killing civilians during security operations in Khorugh, Gorno-Badakhshon Autonomous Oblast (GBAO), after the killing of Major General Abdullo Nazarov, the head of the regional branch of the State Committee for National Security (GKNB).

    Summary of Findings, Methods, and Next Steps Key Findings and Issues Overall, the food security situation was analyzed in 13 livelihood zones for September–December 2012. About 870,277 people in 12 livelihood zones is classified in Phase 3- Crisis. Another 2,381,754 people are classified in Phase 2- Stressed and 2,055,402 in Phase 1- Minimal. In general, the food security status of analyzed zones has relatively improved in the reporting months compared to the previous year thanks to increased remittances received, good rainfall and good cereal production reaching 1.2 million tons, by end 2012, by 12 percent higher than in last season. The availability of water and pasture has also increased in some parts of the country, leading to improvement in livestock productivity and value. Remittances also played a major role in many household’ livelihoods and became the main source of income to meet their daily basic needs. The inflow of remittances in 2012 peaked at more than 3.5 billion USD, surpassing the 2011 record of 3.0 billion USD and accounting for almost half of the country’s GDP. Despite above facts that led to recovery from last year’s prolong and extreme cold and in improvement of overall situation, the food insecure are not able to benefit from it due to low purchasing capacity, fewer harvest and low livestock asset holding. Several shocks, particularly high food fuel prices, lack of drinking and irrigation water in many areas, unavailability or high cost of fertilizers, and animal diseases, have contributed to acute food insecurity (stressed or crisis) for thousands of people.

Expected CP Outcome(s): Outcome 6: Improved environmental protection, sustainable natural resources management, and increased access to alternative renewable energy. Expected CPAP Output (s): Output 6.2: Alternative renewable technologies including biogas, hydro, and solar power are demonstrated, understood, and widely used. Favorable policy and legal framework are established and contribute to private sector development. assist in the implementation of policies, legislation and regulations that improve market conditions for renewable energy development; demonstrate sustainable delivery models and financing mechanisms to encourage small‐scale renewable energy projects (and improve social infrastructure) and support project implementation; develop viable end‐use applications of renewable energy; and Conduct training on proper management of renewable energy systems (e.g. tariff collection) to strengthen local ownership and sustainability. Executing Entity/Implementing Partner: UNDP Tajikistan Implementing Entity/Responsible Partners: Ministry of Industry and Energy Brief Description: The objective of this project is to significantly accelerate the development of small-scale hydropower (SHP) generation in Tajikistan by removing barriers through enabling legal and regulatory framework, capacity building and developing sustainable delivery models, thus substantially avoiding the use of conventional biomass and fossil fuels for power and other energy needs. The project is expected to generate global benefits in directly avoiding greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of almost 273 kilotons of CO2 due to preparation of SHP plants (over the lifetime of a SHP of 20 years) and almost 819-4,952 ktCO2 in indirect emission reductions.
