CERD/C/KGZ/CO/5-7
Amendments to article 8
26.
The Committee recommends that the State party ratify the amendment to article 8,
paragraph 6, of the Convention, adopted on 15 January 1992 at the fourteenth meeting of
States parties to the Convention and endorsed by the General Assembly in its resolution
47/111. In this connection, the Committee cites paragraph 14 of General Assembly
resolution 61/148, in which the Assembly strongly urged States parties to the Convention to
accelerate their domestic ratification procedures with regard to the amendment and to notify
the Secretary-General expeditiously in writing of their agreement to the amendment.
Dissemination
27.
The Committee recommends that the State party’s reports be made readily available
and accessible to the public at the time of their submission, and that the observations of the
Committee with respect to these reports be similarly publicized in the official and other
commonly used languages, as appropriate.
Common core document
28.
Noting that the State party has submitted its core document in 2008
(HRI/CORE/KGZ/2008), the Committee, bearing in mind the adoption of a new
Constitution in 2010 and the renewal of legislation following it, encourages the State party
to submit an updated core document, in accordance with the harmonized guidelines on
reporting under the international human rights treaties, in particular those on the common
core document, as adopted by the fifth Inter-Committee meeting of the human rights treaty
bodies held in June 2006 (HRI/GEN.2/Rev.6, chap. I).
Follow-up to concluding observations
29.
In accordance with article 9, paragraph 1, of the Convention and rule 65 of its
amended rules of procedure, the Committee requests the State party to provide information,
within one year of the adoption of the present concluding observations, on its follow-up to
the recommendations contained in paragraphs 5, 6 and 9 above.
Paragraphs of particular importance
30.
The Committee also wishes to draw the attention of the State party to the particular
importance of the recommendations in paragraphs 7, 8, 12 and 13 above, and requests the
State party to provide detailed information in its next periodic report on concrete measures
taken to implement these recommendations.
Preparation of the next periodic report
31.
The Committee recommends that the State party submit its combined eighth to tenth
periodic reports by 4 October 2016, taking into account the specific reporting guidelines
adopted by the Committee during its seventy-first session (CERD/C/2007/1), and
addressing all the points raised in the present concluding observations. The Committee also
urges the State party to observe the page limit of 40 pages for treaty-specific reports and
60-80 pages for the common core document (HRI/GEN.2/Rev.6, chap. I, para. 19).
