NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL LEGAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE REPUBLIC OF UZBEKISTAN'S MEMBERSHIP IN INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS
Abstract
This article examines the prospects for strengthening the participation of the Republic of Uzbekistan in the activities of international organizations. The study argues that Uzbekistan’s involvement in international organizations should be understood not only as an instrument of foreign policy, but also as a legal and institutional mechanism for implementing constitutional principles, ensuring national interests, modernizing domestic legislation, and integrating the country into global and regional governance systems. The article emphasizes that the effectiveness of Uzbekistan’s participation depends on the quality of implementation of international obligations, harmonization of national legislation with international standards, development of professional diplomatic and legal expertise, and promotion of national initiatives within multilateral platforms.
