RESEARCH OVERVIEW

Abstract

This article examines the implementation of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD) in the Republic of Uzbekistan, focusing on the existing legal framework, institutional mechanisms, and challenges to effective realization. The study analyzes constitutional guarantees and national legislation adopted to promote equality and protect the rights of ethnic minorities. Despite notable progress—including the adoption of the 2023 Constitution and the development of state policy in interethnic relations—systemic challenges remain, such as insufficient public awareness, limited data collection, and the need for stronger law enforcement mechanisms. The article concludes with recommendations for enhancing national implementation of CERD through educational reforms, improved data monitoring, and international cooperation.
