Tajikistan

Tajikistan’s clearance output decreased significantly in 2022 compared to the previous year. The national authority estimates that total contamination from cluster munition remnants (CMR) increased hugely to almost 4.04km² at the end of 2022 from 1.87km² a year earlier. This increase was due to the identification of previously unrecorded contamination.

• Tajikistan should accede to the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) as a matter of priority.
• Tajikistan should comply with its obligations under international human rights law to clear CMR on territory under its jurisdiction or control as soon as possible.
• The Tajikistan National Mine Action Center (TNMAC) should seek to confirm the extent of remaining CMR contamination and ensure timely clearance and release of the contaminated areas.
