The seminar featured Mikko Pumalainen, Deputy Chancellor of Justice of Finland, and Tuija Brax, Director of the Rule of Law Center at the University of Helsinki, as speakers. They shared their extensive experience in the field of human rights and provided practical information on mechanisms for receiving and reviewing citizen appeals, the rights and powers of the Finnish Chancellor of Justice and the Parliamentary Ombudsman, and procedures for engaging with the public.

During the seminar, the new mechanisms introduced in Uzbekistan for public engagement and handling appeals were highly recognized. In addition, discussions were held on the mechanisms outlined in the Law "On the Commissioner of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan for Human Rights (Ombudsman)," adopted last year, and their counterparts in Finnish legislation.

This seminar contributed to enhancing the activities of the Ombudsman institution, strengthening human rights protection, and facilitating international knowledge exchange.
