Uzbekistan’s Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Harmony and Compatibility On 12 December 2025 at 10:00, a roundtable discussion titled “Uzbekistan’s Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: Harmony and Compatibility” was held by the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Oliy Majlis (Ombudsman) in cooperation with the Legislative Chamber and with the support of the UN Development Programme in Uzbekistan. The event brought together members of the Senate and deputies of the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis, the Commissioner for Children’s Rights (Children’s Ombudsman), representatives of the Prosecutor General’s Office, the Ministries of Internal Affairs and Justice, staff of the Ombudsman’s Office, members of the Ombudsman’s Scientific Advisory Council, legal scholars, professors, university rectors and students, representatives of the National Human Rights Centre of Uzbekistan, civil society institutions, and the media. The roundtable was organized in connection with the 33rd anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution and the anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Participants discussed constitutional guarantees for the protection of human rights in national legislation, the practical implementation of these guarantees, and their alignment with international legal standards. It was emphasized that the Constitution of Uzbekistan fully reflects the key principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights — the recognition of human dignity as the supreme value, equality, justice, and guarantees of freedoms — and that these principles form the foundation of state policy. The reforms underway in Uzbekistan today are based precisely on these constitutional principles, prioritizing the enhancement of human dignity, the strengthening of social protection, support for vulnerable groups, and the effective safeguarding of the rights and freedoms of every citizen. The event also addressed cooperation with higher education institutions aimed at developing students’ knowledge in the field of human rights and raising their legal awareness. In this context, the Commissioner for Human Rights (Ombudsman) and three higher education institutions — Mirzo Ulugbek National University of Uzbekistan, Tashkent International University, and the Muhammad al-Khwarizmi Tashkent University of Information Technologies — signed memorandums of cooperation. These memorandums aim to promote research in the field of human rights, create practical training platforms for students and academic staff, and advance the integration of education, research, and practice within the legal education system. The roundtable continued in an open discussion format, allowing for the exchange of opinions and dialogue among participants.
