UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights: Concluding Observations on Uzbekistan (2014)

The Committee issued these concluding observations in 2014, after its consideration of Uzbekistan’s second periodic report. In paragraph 24, the Committee expresses concern about ‘the growing incidence of HIV/AIDS, particularly among injecting drug users’. The Committee urges Uzbekistan to strengthen its HIV/AIDS prevention efforts, including by resuming opioid substitution therapy, which Uzbekistan announced it would do during the dialogue.
