Analysis

The legislation of the Kyrgyz Republic does not contain the concept of "forcibly displaced persons". At the same time, the Law of the Kyrgyz Republic "On Internal Migration" dated July 30, 2002, № 133 provides for the concept of "forced migrant" - a citizen of the Kyrgyz Republic forced to leave his place of residence and move to another location within the country due to circumstances that pose a threat to his life, health and safety. In accordance with Article 40 of this law, forced migrants are provided with certain guarantees, including the right to equal rights with the local population, protection from discrimination, a ban on arbitrary detention and forced detention in camps, the right to safe living conditions, protection from forced return to dangerous conditions, access to social and medical services, as well as the protection of property and property. In addition, the legislation of the Kyrgyz Republic does not contain provisions guaranteeing the inclusion of forcibly displaced persons and stateless persons in economic development plans. However, forced migrants have statutory guarantees and rights within the framework of national legislation on internal migration.
