Kazakhstan joins UN human rights council

Kazakhstan entered the United Nations Human Rights Council for 2022 to 2024. As Kazakh Foreign Ministry noted, the election of Kazakhstan to the main human rights body of the world organization is the recognition of its role as an active and responsible participant in the process of promoting international norms and standards in the field of protection of rights. Priority areas of the organization’s work have already been determined, including the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women, the universal abolition of the death penalty, the fight against all forms of intolerance, freedom of religion and belief.
