Talk:Human rights in Kazakhstan

Blue Hats
I reverted the line about blue hats, buses, and age of consent. I doubt, although I do not know for sure, that it is accurate. If someone can source the claim, by all means do so and put it back up. It would certainly contribute to the article. I do not consider Borat a source. Cyrusc 18:47, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * The blue hats thing is a stupid reference to Borat. Revert all such Borat-vandalism. KazakhPol 01:37, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Internal link
I am removing the Borat internal link, if y'all don't mind. No point in it being there. Հ էտտֆոնէս  ոնէս c 19:51, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Positive links about human rights in Kazakhstan
Does anyone know of a reputable site that reports favorably on Kazakhstan's record on human rights? If so, the link might be worthwhile to add.

 * Hi http://www.bureau.kz is the Bureau on Human Rights in Kazakhstan. It does not say anything good or bad but it has a lot of information mostly official reports and documents regarding human rights issue. It is non-profitable and non governmental organisation. Unfortunately it is in Russian. User:Aizhol

Religious freedom
I do not see an evident link between the destruction of krishna devotees' houses and violation of religious rights. A year before, there was a similar but much larger incidents which concerned ethnical muslim kazakhs.

See here: http://socialistworld.net/eng/2006/04/10kazak.html

(or tape "shanyrak" in google)

There's a large number of mosques, orthodox churches and synagogues in the country, the governement never opposed their construction as it was the case in Switzerland, for example.

The picture of a woman in the article does not seem to me to be neutral. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.176.141.213 (talk) 02:18, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

I've added a brief section about a new development in Kazakhstan, with a direct and obvious impact on religious freedom. I've done my best to keep it neutral! The links may not be. . . it's hard to _not_ take sides over such a hot issue. Cuebon (talk) 05:41, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Kazakh Home Demolished.jpg
Image:Kazakh Home Demolished.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

a source other than Human Rights Watch please
Can another source other than Human Rights Watch be used for the critics of Kazakhstan? It would be great if this page allowed space for all the progress Kazakhstan has made in the 20 years since independence from Soviet Union in general and compared to other former Soviet states. But simply putting 'According to Human Rights Watch' is a tiresome read. HRW is about as unbalanced, one-sided a source as there could be. We might as well cite the Kazakh government as an objective source to be fair. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.189.77.90 (talk) 08:11, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

Removal of inappropriate information from first section.
I removed the following, a clear violation of WP:LEAD as well as WP:V and WP:UNDUE. I doubt it belongs at all in the article (because of the WP:V and WP:NOR problems), but I'm posting what I removed here in case there is anything that can be salvaged - for the body of the article, not the lead section:


 * The National Human Rights Action Plan provides recommendations and procedures regarding the "improvement of mechanisms for the realization of the constitutional rights of citizens. Particular attention is paid to reinforcing the independence of the judicial system, the development of non-judicial mechanisms for the protection of human rights and the protection of the civil, political, social, economic and cultural rights of citizens, including the rights of socially vulnerable groups, in harmony with international standards."


 * The preparation of the Human Rights Action Plan for Kazakhstan is the result of a successful cooperation between the Government, the United Nations Development Programme, non-governmental organizations, other UN agencies and other partner organizations who definitely supported this endeavor, such as British Embassy to Kazakhstan, The Netherlands Embassy to Kazakhstan and the OSCE Center in Astana. The preparation of the Plan was preceded by a baseline study and report on human rights in Kazakhstan that analyzed the national legislation, the law enforcement practice and compliance with international law provisions in human rights protection. The Human Rights Commission and the group working on the Action Plan took note of the international experience and the successes and lessons learnt. Along with this stream of work, Kazakhstan has actively supported the establishment and work of the UN Council on Human Rights, and is initiating the Universal Periodic Review process, thus sending clear signals of its commitment to the human rights agenda.
