“Citizens, stateless persons and foreign nationals in Kyrgyzstan all have the
constitutional right to judicial protection of their rights and freedoms.”
II. Paragraph 43 of the State Report provides that:
"A Parliamentary Committee on Human Rights, Constitutional Law and State Structure
has also been established, with responsibility for electoral law, notaries and the legal
profession and the basic constitutional and human rights and freedoms. During 2013,
it reviewed 86 bills aimed primarily at regulating the legal status of citizens,
guaranteeing human rights and freedoms, democratizing the political system and
modernizing the fundamental principles governing the organization of State power."
III. Paragraphs 94 and 95 of the State Report provide that:
"Given the vulnerable situation of internal migrants who, under the existing
registration system, do not have access to the full range of health and education
services, measures have been taken to make it easier for them to obtain identity
documents. New passport, visa and registration offices were opened during the
reporting period, their tasks including issuance of the documents required to obtain a
passport, as well as of passports to persons registered in other regions of the country.
Internal migrants, persons without a permanent place of residence, foreign nationals,
Stateless persons and refugees can apply for primary health-care provision if resident
in one place for more than three months. Different provisions apply to pregnant
women and children under the age of 5, who receive medical care regardless of their
length of residence in the area concerned. As regards access to education for the
children of internal migrants, a three-month period of grace is allowed for documents
to be recovered for any child entering an educational establishment who does not have
a birth certificate."

availability of their parents' identity documents or residence permits".3
II. Mexico recommended that Kyrgyzstan:
"Take the necessary measures for the proper civil registration of migrant children and
birth registration of children of migrants".4
