CTED assessment visit

The EAG Secretariat took part in the CTED delegation's assessment visit to Kyrgyzstan on 2-5 December 2019. The purpose of the visit was to assess the country's progress in implementing the recommendations of previous visits (2012, 2016) and UNSCRs related to the fight against terrorism.

Representatives of government agencies tasked with combating terrorism and violent extremism took part in thematic discussions that underscored the country's comprehensive approach to tackling these challenges.

In particular, assessors highlighted Kyrgyzstan's considerable progress in the fight against terrorist financing, including in improving its legal framework, and advised on ways to boost the effectiveness of these efforts.

Among the delegation participants were also experts and representatives of international organizations and UN structures: CIS ATC, UN Sanctions Monitoring Team, Interpol, UN Counter-Terrorism Directorate, OSCE, CSTO, UN Women and UNODC. 

After the visit, CTED will prepare a detailed report with recommendations.
