Ashgabat, 21 October 2025 – On 16–17 October 2025, UN Human Rights Central Asia and the Institute of State, Law and Democracy of Turkmenistan held a workshop on the development of the National Action Plan on Human Rights for 2026–2030 with the members of the Working Group of an Interdepartmental Commission on implementation of Turkmenistan’s international obligations in the area of human rights and humanitarian law.
“The recent recommendations received from the Universal Periodic Reviews (UPR) and from several UN Treaty Bodies provide a comprehensive roadmap for strengthening human rights protections in various sectors, for instance legislative frameworks, institutional capacity, access to justice, non-discrimination, or the protection of vulnerable groups” – said Fabio Piana, UN Human Rights Deputy Regional Representative for Central Asia.
Participants reviewed the UPR Matrix of the 4th cycle, including recommendations from UN Treaty Bodies, and discussed the logic, structure and priority areas of the Plan, drawing on international best practices.
Based on the results of the fourth cycle of the UPR, which took place in November 2023, Turkmenistan accepted 146 of 228 recommendations. More information is available here: https://docs.un.org/A/HRC/55/4
