CERD/C/KGZ/CO/5-7 Other consequences of June 2010 ethnic conflict 8. The Committee is concerned at reports of cases of arbitrary dismissal of persons from minority ethnic groups, in particular Uzbeks, and forced abandon of their positions in the administration and local governments. The Committee is also concerned at reports that some Uzbeks closed their enterprises under threat following the June 2010 events. It is further concerned that persons belonging to minority ethnic groups have lost their business due to the conflict and have not all received assistance from the State party (arts. 2 and 5). The Committee recommends that the State party take appropriate measures to: (a) Investigate and review all cases of persons who were arbitrarily dismissed from their positions in the administration or local governments on ethnic grounds, and as appropriate, reinstate them; (b) Investigate and review cases of forced evictions of minority groups of their enterprises and provide them, as appropriate, with restitution or compensation; (c) Continue to provide assistance to those who have lost their incomerelated activities due to the June 2010 ethnic conflict, irrespective of their ethnic origin. Representation of minorities in political bodies and political life 9. The Committee notes the efforts made by the State party to integrate minorities into political and public affairs, such as the security forces and the police, as well as efforts to implement the Decision 567/2011 of the Parliament asking for a balanced staffing policy. However, the Committee remains concerned at the very low representation of minority ethnic groups in political and public affairs including in local governments, as illustrated in the State party’s report, and in particular in the Parliament, the executive bodies, the police and the judiciary, which has decreased since 2007 and following the June 2010 events (art. 2 and 5). Recalling its general recommendation No. 32 (2009) on the meaning and scope of special measures in the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination and in line with its previous recommendation (CERD/C/KGZ/CO//4/, para. 11), the Committee encourages the State party to take concrete and comprehensive measures to ensure that persons belonging to minority ethnic groups are adequately represented in elected and executive bodies, in the police and in the judiciary, at all levels. The Committee recommends that the State party ensure that minority representation is as closely in line with their proportion in the population of the State party in accordance with article 5 of the Convention, bearing also in mind the necessity to build trust in the State for all parts of the population. Socio-economic disparities 10. The Committee takes note of the information provided by the delegation of the State party during its dialogue with the Committee according to which the June 2010 events were rooted in socio-economic disparities that exist between the majority ethnic group and the minority and between rural and urban areas where some ethnic groups are concentrated, in particular the Kyrgyz. However, the Committee is concerned that if such socio-economic disparities continue to exist they may result in other inter-ethnic conflicts (arts. 2 and 5). The Committee encourages the State party to take all measures aimed at addressing socio-economic disparities between different ethnic communities and between rural and urban areas, and at promoting equal enjoyment by all of economic, social and cultural rights in accordance with article 5(e) of the Convention.
