No subsequent disarmament programs took place in Tajikistan.

Disarmament, as a formal process, was disregarded and the CNR was closed.¹

On 5 January 1999, the CNR issued a formal resolution for all UTO fighters to return to the assembly areas and turn in their weapons.² Following the public declaration of disbandment from Nuri, a subsequent disarmament campaign was conducted from 5 to 25 of August with members of the CNR. The Secretary General reported that few weapons were collected.³

In July, 153 UTO fighters were repatriated from Afghanistan with a large number of weapons and ammunition by UNMOT.⁴ Around 36 percent of UTO fighters turned in weapons at registration sites in 1998 according to UNMOT reports.⁵

It was reported that UTO fighters were reluctant to disarm due to the government’s weak commitment on general amnesty and the fact that UTO representatives were not receiving high-ranking government positions, particularly, in one of the three “power” ministries: Interior, Security or Defense.⁶
