Commentary on the national law “On Television and Radio Broadcasting” of Turkmenistan
The legal review was commissioned by the Office of the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media and conducted by Elena Sherstoboeva, an Associate Professor with the Media Department of the Higher School of Economics in the Russian Federation. The expert points out that the law upholds a number of commitments of Turkmenistan in the field of media freedom, but that there are several provisions that require additional improvement and clarification to meet international standards on freedom of broadcasting media. These provisions include the independence of the licensing agency and that of the public service broadcaster. The review is only available in Russian.
