Welcome speech of Neal Walker, United Nations Resident Coordinator in the Kyrgyz Republic, at a roundtable to discuss amendments to the NCO law.
April 21, 2009
Honorable: Members of Parliament; Ombudsman; Leaders of Civil Society Organizations; Donor Community; Ladies and Gentlemen;
The United Nations in the Kyrgyz Republic would like to congratulate the Parliament for holding open debate on laws of great importance and sensitivity. Today’s forum provides good evidence that the Deputies adhere to principles of openness and transparency and that they seek advice of the electorate on what most would consider an important aspect of any successful country: the relationship between the State and its society. Good legislation is the result of hard joint work, of good process and substantive expertise. This Parliament has already demonstrated its interest in “process” by the outreach to society on draft laws in mining, jury trials and on consumers’ rights and again through today’s roundtable on the NCO law. The Parliament has passed laws of basic substantive quality in several areas, including for instance on gender which resulted in the increased presence of women in leading executive positions, also in flour fortification, on breastfeeding and on the creation of the national budget.

Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan (February 18, 2009) - Speech of Neal Walker, United Nations Resident Coordinator, delivered during the Conference on Social Justice Day.
Your Excellency, Vice Prime Minister Ms. Abdullaeva;
Your Excellencies, Mister Ombudsman and Members of Parliament;
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am very pleased to celebrate with you the UN World Day of Social Justice. It is a particular honor for me as it was Kyrgyzstan’s initiative with the UN General Assembly that led to the resolution declaring 20 February the UN World Day of Social Justice, which we are celebrating today for the first time ever. Because of the importance of the topic and because there are many different entry points on what Social Justice means, I would ask your patience while I work through some of the ideas that the team here in the United Nations House of Kyrgyzstan have put together.
