Impressive development in Qazaqstan. The parliament criminalizes domestic violence. Remarkable achievement of civil society: human rights activists, lawyers, art community & NGOs

New report "The Impact of Climate Change on Central Asian Hydro-Politics" https://t.co/2ulegZT92y by Asel Murzakulova: Conflict risks are increasing in regions most susceptible to water stress, particularly in the
southern part of CA, as well as in areas dependent on small rivers

[Decolonial Conference @decolonialconf]

Every single empire in its official discourse has said that it is not like all the others, that its circumstances are special, that it has a mission to enlighten, civilize, bring order and democracy, and that it uses force only as a last resort.

Indigenous Peoples hold vital knowledge about nature. They also suffer some of the worst impacts of biodiversity loss.

It's essential that @UNBiodiversity meeting on Indigenous & local knowledge adopt a rights-based approach to biodiversity conservation, for people & the planet

OUT NOW!

The first @CommonsForeign report on Central Asia since 1999 is very good.

It highlights the kleptocracy problem and shines a light on the terrible oppression of the people of the Pamirs by the dictatorship in Tajikistan.

Amal Clooney demands law be changed to prosecute war criminals | @thetimes.

The Times covers Amal's report calling for reform of the law of universal jurisdiction so more people accused of serious international offences can be prosecuted in the UK.

My piece for @guardian about a thriving #femicide in #Kyrgyzstan: a woman was stabbed by ex-husband. She is forced to turn to society and journalists to protect herself, looking for justice

Huge thanks to @shaunwalker7 for supporting me and this issue!

According to the CA forecasting report, the current results of the survey "is a significant departure from 2021, when human rights, rule of law and support for civil society’ was the top-ranked policy area for cooperation" https://t.co/5RkYmUQn4y

[Subhiya M @Subhiya2]

This is important, but what's worrisome is that human rights keeps fading away in the future priorities. The recent #CentralAsia #Forecasting report 2023 for exp identifies political instability, economic slowdown & crackdown on rights & freedoms as top risks for the region..

[EUSR for Central Asia @EUSR_CA]

Major milestone of EU-#CentralAsia cooperation is reached 🌍🤝 Joint Roadmap paves the way for stronger partnership, economic cooperation, and regional stability!
Let's continue our work together for common prosperity and stability👇🏻#CentralAsiamatters

[Subhiya M @Subhiya2]

On the other hand, the forecasting survey results show dominance of economic cooperation topics in EU-CA relations -‘investment & trade’ (58%), ‘the energy sector’ (53%) ‘economic modernisation 48%’

[Subhiya M @Subhiya2]

The main takeaways from the statement of @fernanddev upon his visit to #Tajikistan that potentially will shape advocacy strategies on the rights of #Pamiri minorities for the next few years are the following 👇

[Subhiya M @Subhiya2]

@fernanddev "engage in a constructive & open dialogue with the Pamiri minority, implement conflict-prevention measures meeting international HR standards, including measures to protect the Pamiri minority.” Minorities have rights under IL, its a state obligation, not a bonus or good gesture
