Abstract

This article analyzes the evolution of the Ombudsman institution as a new model of human rights protection, its historical roots, and its role in modern digital governance. The study examines the origins of the Ombudsman institution in Swedish and Islamic legal traditions (muhtasib), highlights the stages of the formation of this institution in Uzbekistan, and outlines reforms within the framework of the national strategy. The primary objective of the article is to fully align the activities of the Human Rights Commissioner (Ombudsman) of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan with the Paris Principles — specifically, to identify the factors necessary to elevate its international accreditation status from "B" to "A". To this end, the experience of South Korea — a state recognized with "A" status by the Global Alliance of National Human Rights Institutions (GANHRI) — was comparatively studied. Based on the research findings, concrete legal proposals have been developed for implementing mechanisms of absolute independence, financial immunity, and broad public oversight from South Korean legislation into Uzbekistan's national legal framework.
