THE FORMATION OF THE NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS CENTRE OF UZBEKISTAN IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBAL EXPERIENCE: A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
Abstract
This article examines the establishment of the National Human Rights Centre of the Republic of Uzbekistan in the context of global experience from a historical perspective. The study analyzes the formation of national human rights institutions in the late twentieth century, focusing on international trends shaped by the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action (1993) and the Paris Principles. Against this background, the article explores the political, legal, and institutional conditions that led to the creation of the National Human Rights Centre of Uzbekistan in 1996. By comparing Uzbekistan’s experience with selected international models of national human rights institutions, the study demonstrates that the establishment of the Centre was part of a broader global process of institutionalizing human rights protection mechanisms during the post–Cold War period. The findings highlight the historical significance of the National Human Rights Centre as an integral component of Uzbekistan’s early state-building and democratic transformation.
