Statement by Second Secretary Aimé Triana Sevajanes at the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of Tajikistan | Human Rights Council

Mr. Vice-President,

We warmly welcome the delegation of Tajikistan. We acknowledge the country's commitment to the Universal Periodic Review.

In a constructive and respectful spirit, we make three recommendations:

1. Advance the implementation of the 2026 Law on Guarantees of the Rights and Social Protection of Persons with Disabilities.
2. Continue efforts to strengthen the healthcare system, particularly maternal and child healthcare, within the framework of the Health Protection Strategy through 2030.
3. Continue implementing the National Development Strategy through 2030 and the Social Protection Development Strategy through 2040, in order to advance the realization of the right to development and further reduce poverty.

We wish Tajikistan every success in this review and in implementing the recommendations it has accepted.

Thank you.
