A/HRC/45/2 (b) The compilation prepared by OHCHR in accordance with paragraph 15 of the annex to Council resolution 5/1 and paragraph 5 of the annex to Council resolution 16/21 (A/HRC/WG.6/35/KGZ2); (c) The summary prepared by OHCHR in accordance with paragraph 15 of the annex to Council resolution 5/1 and paragraph 5 of the annex to Council resolution 16/21 (A/HRC/WG.6/35/KGZ/3) and A/HRC/WG.6/35/KGZ/3/Corr.1. 384. At its 22nd meeting, on 28 September 2020, the Human Rights Council considered and adopted the outcome of the review of Kyrgyzstan (see sect. C below). 385. The outcome of the review of Kyrgyzstan comprises the report of the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review (A/HRC/44/4) and the views of Kyrgyzstan concerning the recommendations and/or conclusions, as well as its voluntary commitments and its replies to questions or issues that were not sufficiently addressed during the interactive dialogue in the Working Group, and which were presented before the adoption of the outcome by the plenary (see also A/HRC/44/4/Add.1). 1. Views expressed by the State under review on the recommendations and/or conclusions, its voluntary commitments and the outcome 386. The Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary and Permanent Representative of Kyrgyzstan to the United Nations Office and other international organizations in Geneva, Daniiar Mukashev, introduced Kyrgyzstan’s positions on the recommendations received during its third universal periodic review to the Human Rights Council. 387. The delegation indicated that Kyrgyzstan had supported 193 recommendations out of the 232 recommendations it had received during its third periodic review, and noted the remaining 39. It stated that supported recommendations meant that they had already been implemented, were being implemented, or were planned to be implemented. However, 39 recommendations had been noted, as they warranted considerable review and consultations and, due to various objective reasons, could not be implemented. The delegation stated that all recommendations were widely discussed with civil society organizations and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights’ Regional Office for Central Asia in Bishkek. 388. Regarding the ratification of international conventions, it asserted that, although Kyrgyzstan was not party to the 1954 Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons and the 1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness, Kyrgyzstan had in 2019 become the first country to eradicate statelessness. As such, ratification of these conventions would be considered following examination of the instruments. 389. A review was also being undertaken on accession to the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, while the delegation deemed that Kyrgyzstan’s criminal legislation contained provisions that envisaged a punishment for enforced disappearance. 390. Concerning the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, the delegation stated that some provisions contradicted those of the Kyrgyzstan Constitution, including the required commitment to hand over a suspect to the Court, whereas the Constitution enshrined the prohibition of handing over its citizens. 391. Accession to the Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence was also being studied, while the 2017 law “On security and protection from family violence” laid out the legal foundations for preventing and suppressing family violence. 392. The delegation asserted that ratification of the Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, 1989 (No. 169) of the International Labour Organization, was not envisaged since it was not viewed as relevant to the local context. 72
