PROSPECTS FOR COOPERATION BETWEEN THE REPUBLIC OF UZBEKISTAN AND THE UN HUMAN RIGHTS COMMITTEE

Bekmurodjon Karimov ,

Abstract

This article is dedicated to highlighting the multifaceted and systematic cooperation of the Republic of Uzbekistan with the United Nations Human Rights Committee (UNHRC). It analyzes the reforms being carried out by Uzbekistan in the field of ensuring human rights, the measures taken to fulfill international obligations, as well as the main mechanisms related to the activities of the UN Human Rights Committee. In particular, the article thoroughly examines the issues of Uzbekistan's accession to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and its Optional Protocols, regular reports submitted by the state, concluding observations, and their consideration in national policy. It is also noted that Uzbekistan has included a representative in this committee, thereby strengthening its position in the international legal community. Within the framework of the article, the role of the committee in the international arena, its legal influence, and the changes taking place in Uzbekistan at the legislative and institutional levels as a result of the implementation of its recommendations are highlighted with important evidence. The results of the study show that Uzbekistan's efforts to ensure human rights serve not only domestic political stability, but also the strengthening of its international image.
