The latest issue of the quarterly scientific and applied journal ‘Democracy and Law’, published by the Institute of State, Law and Democracy of Turkmenistan in Turkmen, English and Russian, has been released. This was reported by the news resource AsmanNews.

The issue opens with a speech by President Serdar Berdimuhamedov at the International Forum dedicated to the International Year of Peace and Trust, International Neutrality Day and the 30th anniversary of Turkmenistan's Permanent Neutrality. The article highlights the role of the forum in discussing regional and global processes, as well as the importance of the principles of Peace and Trust and dialogue in international politics.

Special attention is paid to the Constitutional Law of Turkmenistan ‘On the Legal Foundations of the Policy of Peace and Trust of Neutral Turkmenistan,’ adopted in September last year. The document enshrines the principles of neutrality, equality, good-neighbourliness, non-use of force, peaceful settlement of disputes, respect for international law and human rights.

The magazine also published a speech by the National Leader of the Turkmen people, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, in which neutrality is presented as the basis of the state's foreign policy and worldview. The open nature of the forum and its focus on a long-term strategic vision of world processes are noted.

The issue includes articles on the national and international legal foundations of Turkmenistan's Permanent Neutrality, with a list of constitutional laws and UN General Assembly resolutions.

An article has been published on the Law of Turkmenistan ‘On the Unified State Register of Voters’, which examines issues of modernising electoral legislation and the role of the Central Commission for Elections and Referendums in Turkmenistan.

The section devoted to humanitarian issues reveals the activities of the National Red Crescent Society of Turkmenistan and the development of the volunteer movement within the framework of its strategy for 2021-2025.

The issue also features publications on the role of neutrality in international relations, the Awaza Political Declaration adopted at the Third UN Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries, and the development of housing legislation in Turkmenistan.

A separate section is devoted to the results of the ‘Creative Work and Human Rights’ competition held by the National Centre of Trade Unions of Turkmenistan in conjunction with the magazine ‘Democracy and Law’ and the announcement of its holding in 2026.

The issue concludes with the traditional ‘Chronicle’ section, which provides an overview of international and national events.
