The principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights laid the foundation for the promotion, protection and implementation of human rights throughout the world. Turkmenistan, a country that recognised this declaration from the first days of its independence, responsibly approaches the implementation of the norms of the document of a universal nature. Ensuring human rights and freedoms in the country is a key indicator of democratic reforms aimed at improving the living conditions of people.
Under the leadership of the esteemed President, our country makes a significant contribution to the promotion and protection of human rights with its peace-loving policy based on humane principles. Having joined a number of important UN conventions, Turkmenistan strictly complies with its obligations to the world community. A concrete step in this direction is the initiatives put forward by the esteemed President from the high rostrum of the United Nations.
