26th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan

The Action Strategy, developed on the basis of the Constitution, currently plays a crucial role in bringing the country to a new, innovative and industrial level of development. Thus deep study and understanding of the Basic Law, strict compliance with its requirements is the duty of every citizen of Uzbekistan.

Currently in our country a lot is being done to ensure the protection of human rights and freedoms. In particular, strict liability has been established for the use of information obtained by unlawful methods as evidence of the prosecution. In addition, improving professional skills and culture, always be guided by the law, the principles of justice and humanism - these are the main tasks of each judge.

This year, the tasks and powers of the public security agencies have been completely revised, an objective assessment of the activities of employees at all levels has been given.

The Law “On the Public Security Service of the Republic of Uzbekistan” was adopted for the first time. In compliance with this Law, the main task of the newly formed special service is to provide reliable protection of the interests of the state from internal and external threats.

It should be noted that precise measures have been undertaken to prevent and resolutely fight against corruption which causes serious harm to the development of the state and society, which undermines people’s belief in justice.

The main goal of the Constitution of Uzbekistan is to create decent living conditions for our people. As a result of the reforms, living standards and real incomes of the population are rising. At the same time, the government and central economic departments, as well as khokimiyats of all levels, face many challenges in this area.

Our Constitution ensures guarantees of freedom of economic activity, entrepreneurship, equality and legal protection of all forms of ownership. However, a high level of state presence in the economy, bureaucracy, problems in tax and customs spheres, the banking system impede the growth of domestic investment and wider attraction of foreign capital.

Taking into account the current situation and with the aim of accelerating the development of the economy and raising the investment attractiveness of our country, we adopted the Concept of improving tax policy.

As far as you know, this year the population of our country exceeded 33 million people. Thus, just the other day, in compliance with the Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the Concept of development of the health care system for 2019-2025 has been adopted.

In accordance with the requirements of the time, much is being done for the development of private medical institutions. Only in 2018 over 400 of them were created in the republic.

One of the most topical issues is the implementation of the important social right to receive pensions guaranteed by our Constitution. In particular, starting from 2019, the marginal amount of pension payments will be increased from 8 to 10 minimum wages and for working pensioners the pension will be paid in full.

Not only economic, but also many social problems can be solved if we develop business activities, the initiative of our youth, we teach them to manage financial resources.

Based on the goals and objectives of the reforms which are implemented it is possible to say that it is time to radically reconsider the activities of the Cabinet of Ministers in order to turn it into a truly supreme body of executive power.

The main law of our country obliges citizens to observe the Constitution and laws, respect the rights, freedoms, honor and dignity of other people. Thus a legal culture in our society in which respect for the Constitution and the laws, respect for the rights and freedoms, honor and dignity of a person will not be an obligation, but an integral part of everyday life must be created.

Everyone needs to realize: to live well, first of all you need to work hard and, in addition to understanding rights and freedoms, deeply feel your responsibility.

In conclusion it is necessary to emphasize, that comprehensively developed generation constitutes the basis of a great future, the creative work of the people is the basis of a prosperous life, and friendship and cooperation represents a guarantee for prosperity!
