CONSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SOCIAL STABILITY AND INTERETHNIC HARMONY IN UZBEKISTAN

Abstract

This article examines the constitutional foundations that underpin social stability and interethnic harmony in Uzbekistan, highlighting the historical evolution, legal frameworks, and institutional measures that collectively contribute to maintaining a cohesive and inclusive society. Since gaining independence, Uzbekistan has engaged in comprehensive legal and political reforms that emphasize equality, cultural diversity, and cooperative coexistence among its various ethnic groups. Drawing on constitutional articles, policy documents, secondary literature, and comparative analyses, this study articulates how Uzbekistan’s constitutional principles have evolved to ensure social stability, prevent ethnic conflict, and facilitate national integration. The findings suggest that the constitutional protections, state-led institutions, and continuous policy refinements have fostered an environment conducive to dialogue, cultural preservation, and long-term social resilience.
