Turkmenistan discusses draft action plan for 2028 International Year of International Law

Turkmenistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a meeting on 26 October 2026 to discuss a draft national action plan for 2026–2028 to organise and prepare for the International Year of International Law in 2028. The ministry reported on its website that the meeting reviewed the main priority areas, proposals for thematic events, and coordination among interested state bodies and organisations.

The ministry noted that on 24 July 2026, the UN General Assembly adopted by consensus the resolution “International Year of International Law, 2028”, submitted on Turkmenistan’s initiative. The adoption was described as clear evidence of broad international support for Turkmenistan’s efforts to strengthen the role of international law in today’s international relations.

Participants noted that consistent respect for the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, good-faith fulfilment of international obligations, and peaceful settlement of disputes are essential conditions for strengthening the international legal order. A comprehensive and consistent approach to activities that promote peace, trust and constructive international cooperation was also emphasised.
