Ensuring the Rights of Vulnerable Segments of the Population in Uzbekistan

This scholarly article provides an in-depth examination of the multifaceted issues surrounding the guarantee of rights and legal interests of vulnerable and socially disadvantaged segments of the population within the context of establishing the principles of a "social state" in New Uzbekistan. The article analyzes-from sociological and philosophical perspectives-the integration of concepts such as human dignity, social justice, and the international principle of "leaving no one behind" into the national legal system, as well as the role of the revised Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan as a foundational constitutional-legal framework. Furthermore, the study explores the establishment of the National Agency for Social Protection under the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the practical effectiveness of innovative, digitized mechanisms-such as the "Women's Register," the "Youth Register," and the "Unified Social Protection Registry"-and the steps taken to align the rights of persons with disabilities and women with international standards.
