Environmental issues
The issues of sustainable development and environmental protection
should be among priority items on the UN Agenda. Their solution is
definitely a priority for Kazakhstan, which has been affected by such
man-made and natural disasters as the dying Aral Sea and the Semipalatinsk
nuclear testing ground. Humanitarian, social and economic implications
of these and other disasters continue to have a negative effect on
the sustainable development not only of Kazakhstan but of the entire
Central Asian region. In this context, Kazakhstan calls for a closer
international cooperation in the solution of problems involving the
efforts to deal with the effects of these and other natural and man-made
disasters.

Millennium
Development Goals
Kazakhstan believes that issues of development and related challenges
involving timely and effective achievement of the Millennium Development
Goals should continue to be the focus of attention of the international
community. The view that the framework for a collective security system
can be established through creating conditions for development of
States is of special importance. It is encouraging to note that the
outcome document adopted by the world Summit has reaffirmed that development
is a central goal and that sustainable development in its economic,
social and cultural dimensions is an important area of work of the
entire United Nations system.

KAZAKHSTAN AGAINST TERRORISM
 Kazakhstan
welcomes the initiative to introduce a counter-terrorism strategy
that provides for the elimination of the causes of terrorism and its
renunciation as a tactical means to attract political attention. The
success of this strategy will largely depend on the strengthening
of international, regional and sub-regional cooperation in the fight
against international terrorism and the growing role of regional organization
in dealing with this evil. Yet building the capacity of states to
prevent terrorist operations and recruitment by terrorists is the
most effective element of a comprehensive strategy.
Kazakhstan attaches great significance to a comprehensive legal framework
successfully established by the United Nations General Assembly in
the field of counter-terrorism. In addition to all twelve United Nation
counter-terrorism conventions, Kazakhstan acceded to the International
Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism on September
16, 2005.
