LEGAL AND SOCIAL ACTIVITY OF NON-GOVERNMENTAL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS IN THE FIELD OF HUMAN RIGHTS

Abstract

This article analyzes the socio-political and legal foundations of the activities of non-governmental non-profit organizations as an important part of civil society. Special attention is paid to their significance in protecting human rights and freedoms, as well as ensuring citizens’ participation in the socio-political life of the country. Non-governmental non-profit organizations act as intermediaries between society and the state, ensuring interaction and control over the state’s compliance with its legal and social obligations to citizens. In the course of the research, the main legal acts regulating the activities of non-governmental non-commercial organizations in the Republic of Uzbekistan, including the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the laws “On Non-Governmental Non-Commercial Organizations,” “On Public Associations,” and other regulatory legal acts, were considered. The role of non-governmental non-profit organizations in the implementation of international legal documents in the field of human rights, to which Uzbekistan has joined, is also analyzed. Special attention is paid to increasing the contribution of these organizations to the formation of the legal culture of the population, legal education, and providing free legal assistance to socially vulnerable segments of the population, as well as monitoring the observance of human rights on the ground. It should be emphasized that the priority task of such organizations is to protect human dignity and the rights and legitimate interests of citizens, as well as to ensure the rule of law, social justice, and the principles of transparency in society.
