The Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan is the fundamental law of our country and the highest legal document regulating all the most important areas of state and public life. The Constitution defines the structure of the state, the system of government bodies, the rights and freedoms of citizens, as well as the basic principles and rules governing the relationship between society and the state.
The principle of the supremacy of the Constitution serves as an important factor in ensuring legality, justice, and the rule of law in the country. All normative legal acts must comply with the Constitution.

THE CONSTITUTION ADOPTED ON DECEMBER 8, 1992
The Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan was adopted on December 8, 1992, and played an important historical role in establishing the legal foundations of an independent Uzbek state. This Constitution became a significant step toward strengthening the country’s sovereignty and building a democratic state and civil society.

In the 1992 Constitution, human rights and freedoms were recognized as the highest value. It established the principle of the separation of powers—legislative, executive, and judicial—operating independently. It also broadly enshrined the personal, political, economic, and social rights of citizens.

This Constitution was developed on the basis of national statehood traditions and generally recognized norms of international law, and it served as an important legal foundation in the early stages of the country’s development.

THE CONSTITUTION IN A NEW EDITION
In the process of building a New Uzbekistan, the Constitution was improved in line with the demands of the time, socio-political reforms, and the interests of the people, and was adopted in a new edition.

In the updated Constitution, the individual—his or her life, freedom, honor, and dignity—is further strengthened as the highest value. The principle of “human being — society — state” is defined as the main priority. This means that the primary goal of state bodies is to ensure the well-being of citizens.

In the new edition of the Constitution, special attention is given to the following key areas:

• strengthening effective mechanisms for protecting the rights and freedoms of citizens;

• reinforcing the principle of a social state and expanding social protection for the population;

• developing education, healthcare, ecology, and social security sectors;

• ensuring openness, transparency, and accountability in the activities of state authorities;

• increasing the role of civil society institutions;

• further strengthening the independence and fairness of the judicial system.

In addition, the Constitution reflects modern approaches to governance, mechanisms that serve human interests, and legal norms that ensure sustainable development.
