The event featured an open dialogue with youth, involving the Authorized Person of the Oliy Majlis for Human Rights (Ombudsman), representatives from the Anti-Corruption Agency, the Youth Affairs Agency, professors from Tashkent State University of Law, and members of the media.
The event began with an overview of constitutional guarantees in the fields of science and education, as well as opportunities and benefits created for youth in Uzbekistan. In particular, it was highlighted that Article 79 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan enshrines the state's responsibility to protect the personal, political, economic, social, cultural, and environmental rights of young people, and to encourage their active participation in society and state affairs. This provision aims to protect youth rights in all key areas, ensuring guaranteed conditions for their comprehensive development.
During the dialogue, the importance of youth appeals to the Ombudsman, as well as student suggestions and recommendations, were emphasized. The role of "Ombudsman Clubs" created in universities was also discussed, noting that these clubs help students apply theoretical knowledge in practice and engage in addressing public issues. The clubs instill a sense of responsibility in students as they work toward solving problems, contributing to their development as qualified specialists.
The event addressed topics related to protecting the rights, freedoms, and interests of youth, as well as promoting their active participation in public and state life. Legal frameworks aimed at strengthening the role of youth in education, social protection, labor rights, and the fight against corruption were also explained.
During the event, which brought together over 100 young people, specific issues raised in youth appeals to the Ombudsman were discussed. The question-and-answer format enriched the dialogue, helping students gain a deeper understanding of the rights, freedoms, and lawful interests of youth in Uzbekistan, as well as the work of the Authorized Person of the Oliy Majlis for Human Rights (Ombudsman).
