Military of Tajikistan Tajikistan ' s armed forces consist of Land Forces , Mobile Forces , Air and Air Defense Forces , Presidential National Guard , and Security Forces ( internal and border troops ) . There are also significant Russian forces in the country principally the 201st Motor Rifle Division . Unlike the other former Soviet states of Central Asia , Tajikistan did not form armed forces based upon former Soviet units on its territory . Instead , the Russian Ministry of Defence took control of the Dushanbe - based 201st Motor Rifle Division ; actually control simply shifted from the former district headquarters in Tashkent , which was in now - independent Uzbekistan , to Moscow . Also present in the country was a large contingent of Soviet border guards , which transitioned into a Russian - officered force with Tajik conscripts . For a long period a CIS peacekeeping force , built round the 201st MRD , was in place in the country . Due to the presence of Russian forces in the country and the Civil war in Tajikistan , Tajikistan only formally legalised the existence of its armed forces in April 1994 . The armed forces were during the 1990s often poorly commanded , mostly badly disciplined , and with their equipment under - maintained . Draft - dodging and desertion was commonplace . Reflecting the fragmented militia group origin of the army ’ s units , in late 1995 the Mahmud ( 1st ) and Faisali ( 11th ) Brigades of the Army exchanged fire several times , and fighting again broke out between the Army Rapid Reaction Brigade ( formerly the Mahmud Brigade ) and the Presidential Guard in June 1996 . Colonel Khudoiberdiev , commander of the Rapid Reaction Brigade was relieved of his command as a result . Air Defense . SA - 2 , SA - 3 , SA - 7 - 20 Air Force . Because of the civil war , airforce development was slow . The first equipment to arrive was 10 MI - 8MTB ' s and 5 MI - 24 in 1993 based at Dushanbe . The first transport aircraft were AN - 24s ( ? ) and AN - 26s ( ? ) were supplied in 1996 . A plan from the 1990s to acquire SU - 25 ' s from Belarus to form an attack squadron did not occur . The Tajik Air Force remains small as Dushanbe doesn ' t expect an attack on the nation from the air and that Russian Air Force units at Gissar in Tajikistan and other such Russian contingents in Kazakhstan would deter any such assault . The country is also patrolled by Russian aircraft as part of the CIS Joint Air Defence System . However , Moscow did help bolster the Tajik ' s helicopter contingents in 2006 - 07 by giving them six Mil Mi - 8 and Mil Mi - 24 Hind attack helicopters . It also provided four L - 39 Albatros .

Rule of Law in Armed Conflicts Project The Rule of Law in Armed Conflicts Project ( RULAC Project ) is an initiative of the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights to support the application and implementation of the international law of armed conflict . Overview . Through a global database and analysis , the RULAC Project has as its aim an assessment of the implementation by states of the law applicable in armed conflicts : The project will ultimately cover all member states of the United Nations and parties to the Geneva Conventions as well as contested territories , whether they are in situation of armed conflict or not . Indeed , certain international rules must be implemented during peacetime or are relevant in post - conflict situations , in particular those relating to the repression of international crimes . In addition , the rules regarding the fight against terrorism , also to be covered by the website , are applicable to states that are not necessarily in a situation of armed conflict . The website is divided into three parts . The homepage offers a small description of the applicable law and addresses the main legal issues in that area , for example the legal qualification of conflicts or the applicability of international law to non - state armed groups . The website then offers for each country the relevant texts and documents dealing with the national and international legal framework ( national legislation and case law , resolutions of intergovernmental organizations , treaty , etc . ) . Finally , the website offers a legal analysis that , on one hand , qualifies the conflict under international humanitarian law and on the other hand , determines the applicable law . This part of the website , certainly the most delicate in juridical and political terms , is particular to the RULAC Project . The RULAC Project should prove to be a precious source of information for government officials , journalists and more widely for any person interested by the respect of the law in war . Geneva Conventions . The first three Geneva Conventions were revised , expanded , and replaced , and the fourth one was added , in 1949 . In addition , there are three additional amendment protocols to the Geneva Convention : ICRC , What is International Humanitarian Law ? , Fact Sheet , 2004 . ICRC , Basic Rules of the 1949 Geneva Conventions and 1977 Additional Protocols , 1988 ICRC , study of customary international humanitarian law .
