A Special Report on the rights of refugees, stateless persons launched in Kazakhstan

The Special Report provides a comprehensive overview of the rights of oralmans, stateless persons, asylum-seekers and refugees, and also describes present policies of Kazakhstan toward those groups. In addition, a thorough assessment of the prevailing social and economic conditions is presented by the Report, along with specific recommendations designed to improve the situation of the target groups in accordance with generally accepted international human rights standards. The Report also draws much needed attention to areas including the necessity for improvement of the overall legal and administrative framework governing asylum, accession by the Republic of Kazakhstan to the two international Conventions on statelessness, and concrete joint actions to ameliorate the difficult circumstances presently faced by oralmans, stateless persons, asylum-seekers and refugees.
