A/73/232 18-14259 4/6 Annex II Draft resolution The role of the international community in the prevention of the radiation threat in Central Asia The General Assembly, Reaffirming its resolution 68/218 of 20 December 2013, Taking into account the outcome of the high-level international forum entitled “Uranium Tailings in Central Asia: Local Problems, Regional Consequences, Global Solutions”, held in Geneva on 29 June 2009, Taking into account also the outcome of the international conference entitled “Uranium Tailings in Central Asia: Joint Efforts in Risk Reduction”, held in Bishkek on 24 and 25 October 2012, Taking into account further the outcome of the international conference entitled “Uranium tailings in Central Asia: Problems and Solutions”, held in Dushanbe from 20 to 22 November 2012, Taking into account the outcome of the shared high-level events, initiated by the Kyrgyz Republic on the margins of the General Assembly sessions, dedicated to the dangers associated with the former uranium mining activities in Central Asia, held in New York on 20 September 2017, Taking into account also the ongoing efforts of Central Asian States towards the rehabilitation of former uranium facilities in Central Asia, Taking into account further the role of the international donor community in providing support to the Central Asian States for addressing these problems at the bilateral and multilateral levels, Taking into account the necessity for a strategic and coordinated approach in the preparation and implementation of programmes, with a view to solving the problems associated with uranium tailings in Central Asia, Taking into account also the efforts towards the remediation of uranium tailings in Central Asia and the implementation of projects carried out through the international target programme of the Commonwealth of Independent States, entitled “Remediation of the territories of States affected by uranium mining industries ” and projects of the European Commission on conducting an integrated environmental impact assessment and feasibility study for the environmental remediation of the uranium legacy sites of Min-Kush and Shekaftar, Kyrgyzstan, and Degmay and Taboshar, Tajikistan, as well as promising projects planned to be implemented within the framework of the environmental remediation account of uranium legacy sites production, Noting the importance of the strategic master plan for environmental rehabilitation at the sites of former uranium facilities in Central Asia, developed by the Coordination Group for Uranium Legacy Sites of the International Atomic Energy Agency, and approved by the competent authorities of the Governments of Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan in 2017, Noting also that the competent authorities of Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, the Secretariat of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the European Commission and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, which signed the foreword to the strategic master plan on 19 September 2017, will support A/73/232 5/6 18-14259 and promote a coordinated approach to remediation with a view to achieving sustainable and safe results of these activities in Central Asia, Noting further that many tailings ponds are located in seismically active areas close to population centres and the banks of major rivers in the region and are subject to the threat of natural disasters, Reaffirming the human rights to life, to an adequate standard of living and to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health, and stressing in this regard the need to mitigate the impact of natural and man-made disasters in the areas around uranium waste burial sites and tailings ponds in order to avoid loss of human life, as well as immediate and long-term negative consequences for human health, Noting the need to inform the public in a timely manner when conducting work on the prevention of the radiation threat in Central Asia, Considering that, despite the renewed efforts made by the States of Central Asia at the national level and despite the continued support of international programmes and projects to remediate former uranium mines and tailings ponds, a number of States continue to have serious social, economic and environmental problems associated with former uranium mines and tailings ponds, Striving to contribute to strengthening the security and safety of radioactive materials, Expressing gratitude to donor countries, in particular Czechia, Finland, Germany, Japan, Norway, the Russian Federation, Switzerland and the United States of America, and to international and regional organizations and financial institutions, including the United Nations Development Programme, the International Atomic Energy Agency, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the European Union, the Commonwealth of Independent States, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the Global Environment Facility, the World Bank and others, which provided and are providing assistance in addressing the problems of uranium tailings in the Central Asian region, Stressing the need for a coordinated approach in the rehabilitation of former uranium production facilities, particularly in Central Asia, and welcoming the multilateral initiatives undertaken by the international community to pool resources and identify ways of providing assistance to address the problems associated with uranium tailings ponds in the Central Asian region, Stressing also the importance of regional cooperation for successful implementation of environmental rehabilitation in Central Asia in order, inter alia, to increase competence, exchange information and use best practices and lessons learned in the management of radioactively contaminated areas in Central Asia and other regions, including through relevant training programmes, and to use the experience gained, in cooperation with the United Nations Development Programme, in addressing the human factor involved in preparedness for accidents and emergency situations on sites of uranium legacy with potential transboundary effects and in recovering from them, Taking into account that the Governments and populations of the States of Central Asia are aware of the threat of possible natural or man-made disasters and their global consequences for the lives and the health of a large number of people and for the environment, Taking into account also the rationale of periodically amending the resolution entitled “The role of the international community in averting the radiation threat in Central Asia”, with a view to updating it, A/73/232 18-14259 6/6 1.
