Tajikistan

Tajikistan’s clearance output decreased slightly in 2023 compared to the previous year. The national authority estimate of total contamination from cluster munition remnants (CMR) decreased slightly to 3.74km² from the 4.04km² estimated at the end of 2022. Tajikistan plans to complete all necessary survey to finally establish a baseline of CMR contamination by the end of 2025.

• 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.
