Permanent Mission of the Republic of Uzbekistan to the United Nations

The parliamentary Committee for International Affairs and Parliamentary Relations held the roundtable dedicated to the issues of systematizing and arranging the international conventions, treaties and agreements recognized and signed by the Republic of Uzbekistan, the Narodnoye slovo newspaper reported.

The participants of the roundtable have said that at the moment Uzbekistan had recognized and signed over 500 international documents in the form of universal, bilateral, multilateral and regional conventions, treaties and agreements. In line with the Constitution of Uzbekistan, they became a component part of the national legislation.

Starting from establishment of bicameral parliament in the country, the ratification and denunciation of international agreements or joining them are carried out by way of adopting the law of the Republic of Uzbekistan – the practice, which more strengthens the basis of such process.

The international treaties recognized and signed by Uzbekistan are related to almost all spheres of state and public construction. Therefore, the increase in the number of documents has necessitated their systemization and classification since they are used by organizations of various branches of state power, public structures and, firstly, the legislative power.

The tasks of popularizing the norms of international law among the public, raising the legal awareness, and particularly, the legal culture of young generation also make the work on systemizing and classifying international documents urgent as never before.

The delegates to the roundtable are reported to have listened to the reports on the activity of ministries of foreign affairs and justice in this direction, as well as on the state of preparation and prospects of publication of the “Collection of international treaties of the Republic of Uzbekistan”.
