Engagement with the HRC

Principal sponsorship of HRC resolutions

Kyrgyzstan has not been a principal sponsor of any Council resolutions during 2018-2022.

Voting record

From when it first became a member of the Council in 2009 and until 2012, Kyrgyzstan has (in the absence of consensus) voted in favour of resolutions on the situations in the Syrian Arab Republic, but from 2016 until 2018, it either voted against or abstained from all such resolutions (excluding consensus). It has abstained during votes on Belarus. During votes on item 7 resolutions (human rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories), Kyrgyzstan consistently votes in favour. On item 10 resolutions (capacity-building), Kyrgyzstan has joined consensus on nearly all resolutions, voting in favour of one (the Democratic Republic of the Congo, 2017) and abstained on four (two on Ukraine and two on Georgia). For thematic resolutions dealing with civil and political rights, Kyrgyzstan has either joined consensus on or voting in favour of all texts (except for eight occasions where it abstained, two when it did not vote, and one on sexual orientation and gender identity, where it voted against). For thematic resolutions dealing with economic, social and cultural rights, Kyrgyzstan has either joined consensus on, or has voted in favour of, all adopted texts (except for three occasions where it voted against, eight where it abstained, and two when it did not vote).

Cooperation with the UN, its representatives and mechanisms in the field of human rights

Cited in the Secretary General’s reports on 'alleged reprisals for cooperation with the United Nations, its representatives and mechanisms in the field of human rights' (2010-2023)?

Fulfilment of past voluntary pledges & commitments

Specific voluntary pledges: 3

Kyrgyzstan presented an aide memoire in support of its candidature for membership of the Council for the period 2016-2018 in June 2015.

The document contains few specific pledges, including the commitments to ratify CRPD and to encourage dialogue and constructive cooperation in the Council, taking into account country-specific and region-specific cultural and historical traditions.

An analysis of steps taken by Kyrgyzstan in fulfilment of its international pledges shows that, during its last membership term, it participated in 13% of Council debates and interactive dialogues. Kyrgyzstan has not yet ratified the CRPD.
