State Programme on Poverty Reduction and Economic Development 2003-2005 Azerbaijan Progresses Toward the Achievement of the Mill
STATE PROGRAMME ON POVERTY REDUCTION AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 2003-2005 AZERBAIJAN PROGRESSES TOWARD THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS PROGRESS REPORT – 2003/2004 BAKU – 2005 DECREE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF AZERBAIJAN on Approval of the State Programme on Poverty Reduction and Economic Development in the Republic of Azerbaijan for 2003-2005 The consistent reform program carried out in the Republic of Azerbaijan in recent years has helped to ensure economic development, gradual improvement of macroeconomic performance and improvement of the living standards in the country. Thus, in the period 1996-2002, Gross Domestic Product increased by 1.7 times, capital investment increased by 7.8 times, nominal monetary income of population increased by 3 times and average monthly wages and pensions increased by 5 times. There are improvements in other economic performance indicators. However, these ongoing efforts and achievements have not yet led to a sufficiently high level of economic development and the living standards of the population have still not reached international standards: part of population is still unemployed, minimum wages are not sufficient to meet the minimum subsistence level and a number of factors causing poverty have not been eliminated. In order to further strengthen social protection of the population for the near future, ensure poverty reduction in the country and implement necessary measures to meet the commitments of the 2000 United Nations Millennium Summit, I hereby decree: 1. The “State Program on Poverty Reduction and Economic Development in the Republic of Azerbaijan for 2003-2005” shall be approved. 2. The Ministry of Economic Development of the Republic of Azerbaijan shall be responsible for coordinating the implementation of measures set out in the State Program. -
Azerbaijan 2015 Human Rights Report
AZERBAIJAN 2015 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Azerbaijani constitution provides for a republic with a presidential form of government. Legislative authority is vested in the Milli Mejlis. The president dominated the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) canceled its observation of the November 1 legislative elections when the government refused to accept ODIHR’s recommended number of election monitors. Without ODIHR observation, it was impossible to assess fully the conduct of the Parliamentary election; independent local and international monitors alleged irregularities throughout the country. The 2013 presidential election did not meet a number of key OSCE standards for democratic elections. Separatists, with Armenia’s support, continued to control most of Nagorno-Karabakh and seven other Azerbaijani territories, and 622,892 persons reportedly remained internally displaced in December 2014 as a result of the unresolved conflict. There was an increase in violence along the Line of Contact and the Armenia-Azerbaijan border. Military actions throughout the year resulted in the highest number of deaths in one year since the signing of the 1994 ceasefire agreement, including six confirmed civilian casualties. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over Azerbaijani security forces. The most significant human rights problems during the year included: 1. Increased government restrictions on freedoms of expression, assembly, and association that were reflected in the intimidation, incarceration on questionable charges, and use of force against human rights defenders, activists, journalists, and some of their relatives. The operating space for activists and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) remained severely constrained. -

«On Approving the Comprehensive Action Plan on Improving the Environmental Situation in the Azerbaijan Republic for 2006-2010»
Order of the President of the Azerbaijan Republic «On approving the Comprehensive Action Plan on improving the environmental situation in the Azerbaijan Republic for 2006-2010» The Azerbaijan Republic is currently experiencing a period of economic development. Environment protection, living in a healthy natural environment and the use of natural resources in the interests of the people are the cornerstones of a comprehensive development concept which is based on extensive social and economic reforms. The rapid development of the economy, including the expansion of the oil, gas and construction sectors over the past several years, are accompanied by an increase in the level of anthropogenic impacts on the environment. As a result, pollution of lands, water basins and the atmosphere in some regions exceeds permissible levels. At the same time, the reserves of drinking water have dwindled, forests shrunk and land eroded, while landslide and desertification processes have gained momentum. Cases of pollution on the Absheron Peninsula, the Kura-Araz lowland, Baku, Sumgayit, Ganja, Mingachevir and Ali-Bayramli and other such industrial centers with oil, oil products, chemical substances and domestic wastes have become much more frequent. The discharge of industrial and domestic effluents on adjacent areas has led to an increase in the number of artificial lakes and a significant expansion of the existing lakes on the Absheron Peninsula. As a result of such man-made impacts, forest areas have shrunk and there is a threat of bio- cenosis disappearance. To prevent the adverse impact on the environment and improve the overall environmental situation in the country, a number of important measures have to be taken. -
