Representatives of Tajikistan participated in the OSCE meeting

Recently, representatives of the country have not participated in the work of the OSCE in Europe.

On June 17, a meeting of the OSCE Security Committee on the topic “Media and Information Literacy and the Role of Youth in Preventing and Combating Radicalization in the Online Space” took place at the headquarters of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) in Vienna (Austria).

According to the Embassy of Tajikistan in Austria, during the meeting, the head of the Unified Information Center for the Prevention of Extremism, Terrorism, and Cybercrime of the General Prosecutor’s Office of the Republic of Tajikistan, Manuchehr Mahmudzoda, delivered a speech.

In his speech, he presented information about the measures being taken in Tajikistan to protect youth from violent extremism, particularly within the framework of the “National Strategy for Combating Terrorism and Extremism for 2025-2030.”

The meeting was attended by representatives of member states and other OSCE bodies. The goal of the meeting was stated as sharing experiences and strengthening cooperation among participants in the field of digital security and youth policy.

Tajikistan’s participation in the OSCE meeting occurs against the backdrop of dissatisfaction in Dushanbe with this organization for allowing opposition forces to criticize the government at the Warsaw Human Dimension Conference within the framework of the Review Conference on the Implementation of Human Dimension Commitments (RCIHDC) – the largest human rights conference in Europe held in the Polish capital, Warsaw. Tajikistan accuses the OSCE of supporting opposition figures. Especially after sharp disputes between opposition members and government representatives at these meetings, Tajik government representatives no longer participate in them.
