Tajikistan

Tajikistan is an authoritarian state dominated politically by President Emomali Rahmon and his supporters since 1992. The constitution provides for a multiparty political system, but the government has historically obstructed political pluralism. In April 2020 the mayor of Dushanbe and eldest son of the President, became speaker of the Majlisi Milli, the upper house of parliament, placing him next in line for succession. Parliamentary elections and presidential elections were neither free nor fair. All law enforcement agencies and the Customs Service report directly to the president. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is primarily responsible for public order and manages police. There were reports that members of the security forces committed numerous abuses. The government rarely took credible steps to identify, investigate, prosecute, and punish officials who may have committed human rights abuses.

The overall score indicates that there are severe risks of potential human rights violations in this country. This may also include the tourism sector. Relevant risks for the tourism sector are, e.g.:
  • Serious restrictions on freedom of expression, media and internet freedom
  • Extensive gender-based violence
  • Threats of violence against LGBTQ+ persons
  • Existence of the worst forms of child labor

For better comparability, we have converted the original scores of the indices to a uniform scale of 1-100 (1 most negative, 100 most positive).

In the following table you find these recalculated values and the original score in brackets behind them.

The Overall Score is the geometric mean of all converted values for each country. It is subcategorized in five risk categories with colour gradations that can be seen in the map.
