Azerbaijan, Baku, Oct. 19 / Trend , G.Dadashova /
Member of the Kyrgyz mission to the UN Azamat Kadyraliev said his Government advocated strict compliance with the decisions of the Human Rights Council.
Speaking at the 21st & 22nd meetings of the Third Committee of the 66th General Assembly, he said Kyrgyzstan planned to fairly protect and promote human rights and to ensure that the Council worked efficiently.
Kadyraliev also recognized the need to support human rights and the full compliance with human rights standards contained in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
"To reinforce its interaction with the special procedures of the United Nations, Kyrgyzstan had been implementing specific concrete measures aimed at the development of its judicial system. It had joined the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture, and it was looking at establishing a national preventative mechanism to ensure the transparency of its detention centers," he said.
Kadyraliev further stressed that the Kyrgyz Government was interested in enlarging the dialogue on human rights with the special procedures mandates holders. "It was planning to organize a country visit for the Special Rapporteur on Torture. As a member of the Group of Friends combating human trafficking, Kyrgyzstan fully supported the efforts of the international community to combat that modern form of slavery," he said.
Kadyraliev urged all Member States to continue to work towards carrying out the Global Plan of Action on Trafficking in Persons.
