Facilitating the creation of a common legal space between Europe and Central Asia and enhancing human rights protection

As the European (continental) and Central Asian legal systems derive historically from common roots, they remain similar in many regards. The strategic goal of this Action is to initiate a process of creating a common legal space between Europe and Central Asia, based on European and international standards. This Action consists of two complementary components: raising awareness about Council of Europe Conventions and enhancing human rights protection through education.The latter component is implemented within the framework of the Council of Europe Programme on Human Rights Education for Legal Professionals (HELP). 

Raising awareness about Council of Europe Conventions

Council of Europe Conventions are considered as a key reference to reinforce human rights, democracy and the rule of law, and to promote a common legal space at pan-European level and beyond. It is therefore important to promote a sound understanding and effective implementation of the Conventions system among national authorities and civil society actors in Central Asia. Within the framework of the Action and depending on the needs and priorities of each partner, the following activities on regional and national level are organised:

  • Legislative review and assessments;
  • Preparation of recommendations and publications;
  • Peer to-peer exchanges, conferences, seminars, working groups etc.

Exchanging on priorities of actions of the Programme in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan

From 9 to 13 May 2022, the Central Asia Rule of Law Programme had a set of meetings with national authorities and international partners in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.

Priorities of work with national key stakeholders in both countries such as representatives of constitutional bodies, parliaments and the judiciary in the field of Rule of Law have been defined for the upcoming months.

The Programme team also exchanged with the representatives of the European Union Delegations to Tajikistan and Uzbekistan on planned activities and implementation modalities of the Programme.

Additional meetings with international organisations active in both countries allowed to identify common grounds for co-ordinated initiatives and actions.

These face-to-face exchanges are considered instrumental in stepping-up the implementation of the Programme and provided an opportunity to adjust its working plans in accordance with the needs of both countries.
