Uzbekistan
The National Center of the Republic of Uzbekistan for Human Rights and the Regional Delegation of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) for Central Asia have signed an Action Plan for the Promotion of International Humanitarian Law for 2026–2027. The roadmap outlines joint measures to strengthen education, improve legislation, and reinforce institutional capacity in this field.
The agreement was signed on July 24 at the House of Human Rights. It includes initiatives to expand publishing activities, organize educational and scientific events, enhance legislation and law enforcement practice, and establish a dedicated International Humanitarian Law office within the National Center for Human Rights.
Akmal Saidov, Director of the National Center for Human Rights, said the document builds on 33 years of cooperation with the ICRC. He noted that Uzbekistan acceded to the four 1949 Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols in 1993. Among recent joint initiatives, he highlighted the publication of a teaching manual on international humanitarian law in 2014 and the 2024 edition of the Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols in the Uzbek Latin alphabet.
Biljana Milošević, Head of the ICRC Regional Delegation for Central Asia, emphasized that promoting knowledge of international humanitarian law among students, educators, and young professionals remains one of the organization's key priorities. The parties reaffirmed their commitment to implementing all measures set out in the action plan.
