common to all of them. These public associations

associations
are
public
associations operating in the Republic of Uzbekistan
on the territory of one or more foreign countries, if the
Republican public association is part of the
international public association formed abroad as a
collective member, the Charter of the Republican
public association is also registered in accordance with
the law on public associations. Public associations may
establish direct contact with international public
associations in accordance with their Statutes.
Public associations of the Republic include public
associations, political parties or trade unions that carry
out the activities specified in their Charter throughout
the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Public
associations can also be formed in the Republic of
Karakalpakstan.
Local public associations include regional, district, city
and village public associations. In necessary cases,
inter-provincial and inter-district public organizations
can be established.
It is important for public associations in the territory of
the Republic of Uzbekistan to cooperate with the state
and its bodies in the transition to a market economy, to
establish a legal democratic state and civil society, to
express and satisfy the interests of various social
groups through self-government, and to promote
democratic ideas and rules among the people is
important.
Political parties, which are one of the important types
of public associations, play a big role in the exercise of
state power. The participation of political parties in the
implementation of the state function is to transform
the private interests of citizens, social strata and
certain groups into common political interests.
Political parties perform the following tasks:
- to develop and define their own political directions
that create opportunities to solve problems in society;
- expansion of the party structure and training of
personel and activists, nominating their candidates for
positions in state and social structures;
- participation in the formation of state and local self-
government bodies, control over their activities;
- participation in the organization of elections of state
and local self-government bodies and participating in
them;
- ideological influence on colleagues and members of
the organization, formation of political doctrines and
formation of a positive attitude towards values and
ideas recognized in the country.
The growing role of political parties in the power of the
state, the development of the forms and methods of
activity requires their legal regulation. Formalization
(institutionalization) of the activities of political parties
became active after the independence of Uzbekistan.
Institutionalization is expressed, firstly, in the
determination of their status in the constitutional
order, and secondly, in the detailed determination of
this status at the level of ordinary legislation. The place
and role of parties in the socio-political life of our
country is defined in the Constitution of our country. In
particular, the Constitution in Article 12, it is legally
established3 that different political institutions can
operate.
In accordance with the provisions of Chapter XIII of the
Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan entitled
"Public Associations", trade unions, political parties,
societies of scientists, women's, veterans and youth
organizations,
commercial
associations,
public
movements and other associations of citizens

with the law recognized as (Article 56 of the
Constitution). Article 34 of the Constitution states that
citizens of the Republic of Uzbekistan have the right to
join trade unions, political parties and other public
associations and participate in mass movements .
No one can discriminate against the rights, freedoms
and dignity of opposition persons who are a minority in
political
parties,
public
associations,
public
movements, and representative bodies of the
government.
Political parties, mass movements, trade unions,
women, youth and children, veterans and disabled
organizations,
scientific-technical,
cultural-
educational, physical education and sports, other
additional
societies,
creative
associations,
foundations, associations and other associations of
citizens, public are recognized as associations.
Currently, 5 political parties are operating in
Uzbekistan. Political parties include: People's
Democratic Party of Uzbekistan, Environmental Party
of Uzbekistan, Social Democratic Party "Adolat", Party
"Milliy tiklanish", Liberal Democratic Parties of
Uzbekistan. Constitutional provisions on the legal
status of political parties are set forth in the Law "On
Political Parties" adopted on December 26, 1996.
Each party adopts its own program to facilitate the
implementation of the state function. The program
contains the proposals of the parties, which they
promote in their speeches. Political parties contribute
to the implementation of state functions by actively
participating in the formation of state bodies.
The basic rules for party activities are also developed in
election laws. These laws reflect the norms regulating
the participation of parties in elections. Electoral
legislation, first of all, determines the right of political
parties to participate in elections. According to the
rule, the parties must be registered with the relevant
organizations (Ministry of Justice) and must have
previously participated in elections.
As can be seen from the above, political parties in
Uzbekistan
also
actively
participate
in
the
implementation of the law-making function of the Oliy
Majlis.
Another important type of public associations involved
in the implementation of state power is trade unions.
At present, the possibility of forming trade unions is
recognized in the legislation of all democratic countries
and expressed in the relevant constitutional articles.
A trade union is a public organization that unites
employees of a particular profession on a voluntary
basis, regardless of race, nationality, gender and
religious beliefs. Trade unions are an important
component of the political system of our country. A
political system is a system of relations related to the
exercise of political power in society, in turn, political
power is the power of a certain group of people over
the entire society. The entire activity of the trade
unions is based on methods of persuasion, activism,
initiative and strict adherence to democracy.
In accordance with the provisions of the first chapter
of the Law "On Trade Unions, Their Rights and
Guarantees of Activities" adopted in our country on
July 2, 1992, all trade unions have equal rights and are
independent. State authorities and local government
bodies, parties do not have the right to interfere in
their activities. They can be suspended or dissolved
only through the court. This law guarantees that it is
possible to create a primary organization in any labor
group, regardless of the form of ownership.

Trade unions operate in accordance with the goals and
tasks defined in their charters. They independently
develop and approve their charters, determine the
internal structure of the association, elect the leading
bodies, and organize their activities. Trade unions
protect the right of their members to work, provide
them with appropriate working conditions and take
care of paying them a decent salary for the work done.
Monitors compliance with labor legislation in
enterprises, institutions and organizations. Engages in
social protection of workers and takes an active part in
considering and resolving labor disputes.
The policy carried out in Uzbekistan places great
responsibility on public associations. The main basis of
such responsibility is to ensure that every citizen is
socially protected during the transition to market
relations, and that they consciously and actively
participate in the management of the state and
society. Public associations should analyze the reforms
being implemented in the republic with the
participation of their members and express their
opinions about them, determine the tasks they face as
a result of the reforms, and involve all members to
fulfill them. This, in turn, provides an opportunity to
transfer a number of functions of the state to public
associations during the formation of civil society in
Uzbekistan, serves for the high development of
Uzbekistan, peaceful and prosperous life of every
citizen.
The participation of public associations in the exercise
of state power is carried out on the basis of close
cooperation with state bodies. In this regard, parties
should work consistently in order to gain prestige
among the population, gain political experience, strive
for political maturity and, most importantly, to achieve
financial independence, find their place in society and
rely on their permanent voters. Regardless of their
programs and orientations, it is undoubtedly important
for all our parties to follow this path.
As the reputation of public organizations grows and
strengthens in our country, the role of civil society
institutions in effective public control over the
activities of state and power structures is increasing in
our society. Today, the institution of public and civil
control is becoming one of the important means of
ensuring the effective interaction of the society with
the state, determining the mood of the people and
their reaction to the changes taking place in the
country.
The effect of large-scale reforms implemented in our
country, the main guarantee of peace and
development is directly related to ensuring the
Constitution and the rule of law. That is why it is
becoming an extremely important and urgent task for
people working in all spheres and branches of our life,
first of all, leaders, citizens to thoroughly know the
Constitution and laws, to properly organize their
implementation, and to strictly adhere to these rules
by all members of society.
The Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan serves
as the legal foundation for building a new life and a
new society in our country. In this way, the
strengthening of the basic principles of the activity of
public organizations in our Constitution created
favorable conditions for the development of wide
networks of such organizations that reflect the
interests of all segments of the population.
As stated in President Shavkat Mirziyoyev's decree N-
4969 of June 20, 2017 "On preparations for the
celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the
adoption of the Constitution of the Republic of
Uzbekistan and measures for its implementation", an
effective national legal system based on the rules and
