The large-scale tasks defined in the development strategy of the new Uzbekistan, the creation of a state friendly to the people, more effective provision of human rights, interests and dignity necessitate the creation of a new constitutional and legal space suitable for fundamental reforms in our country.

This testifies to the urgency of strengthening the principles of the "New Uzbekistan – Social State" in our Constitution, ensuring that human interests are the main criterion in the process of various reforms, inviolability of private property, ownership of land, increasing the position of civil society institutions at the constitutional level and improving the foundations of state power.

It should be noted that, based on the proposals made by the people, as well as the proposals made by the head of our state at a meeting with members of the Constitutional Commission, based on the principle that "dignity, honor and pride of a person should be in the first place in all spheres from now on", a draft constitutional law of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On the introduction of amendments and addenda to the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan" and the process of national discussion continues.
