This noble work of publishing the draft Constitutional law “On the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan” in Braille was carried out by the National Center of the Republic of Uzbekistan for Human Rights and the Center for Sustainable Development.

More than half of the norms in the text of the updated Constitution are aimed at strengthening guarantees for the protection of human rights and freedoms. In particular, in accordance with Article 57 of the draft law, the rights of persons with disabilities and lonely elderly people, the disabled and other needy categories of the population are protected by the state. Moreover, the state creates conditions for the full access of persons with disabilities to objects and services of the social, economic and cultural spheres, promotes their employment, education, provides the opportunity to freely obtain the information they need. Article 115 of the draft Constitutional law provides that the Cabinet of Ministers must ensure the effective functioning of the system of social protection of the population, including persons with disabilities.

It should also be noted that the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Law “On the rights of persons with disabilities” were first printed in Braille at the initiative of the National Center for Human Rights in 2020.

The publication of the draft Constitutional law in Braille serves to ensure the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of our compatriots with disabilities.
