protection of human rights. This article was prepared to

For the first time in the history of Uzbekistan, a Constitutional referendum was held in
April 2023.Its main goal is to ensure human rights and interests and protect human dignity. In
the new edited constitution, the number of constitutional norms related to human rights has
increased more than 3 times and amounts to more than 50 clauses. First of all, let's define the
concept of "human rights": "Human rights" are the characteristics of a person's vital needs,
their survival, their development, and their relationship with society, the state, and other
individuals. Summarizing the information on human rights in Uzbekistan, the following
conclusions can be drawn:
Legislation on human rights was formed;
Institutional mechanisms for ensuring human rights have been created in the
country,
The state implements international cooperation in the field of human rights,
Education and enlightenment on human rights is being implemented.
It is known from the world experience that it is impossible to democratize the society
without strictly protecting and practically ensuring human rights and freedoms. Based on this,
it was published by the Department of Education at Vanderbilt University of the United States.
"What is democracy?" "Fundamental human rights" in a democratic society are expressed as
follows: freedom of speech, expression of opinions and the press, freedom of religious belief,
freedom of assembly and association, right to equal protection before the law, right to obey
the law and fair trial. One of the unique features of the national legislation in Uzbekistan is
that the factor of human rights is defined as a high political and legal value.
Clause13
of the
Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan: "Democracy in the Republic of Uzbekistan is based
on universal principles, according to which a person, his life, freedom, honor, dignity and
other rights are the highest value"
