Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — The House of Human Rights hosted the presentation of a monograph by Russian researchers titled “From Past to Future: Human Rights in the Modern World”, prepared by the Institute of Heritage and Contemporary Society at the Russian State University for the Humanities.

The event took place within the framework of the visit of a delegation from the Russian Federation, led by Presidential Advisor and Chairman of the Council for the Development of Civil Society and Human Rights, Valery Fadeev.

Representatives of government bodies, academic circles, and human rights organizations from both countries attended, alongside staff from the Alisher Navoi National Library of Uzbekistan and regional information and library centers.

New Initiatives

During the event, Akmal Saidov, Director of the National Center for Human Rights of the Republic of Uzbekistan, emphasized the importance of scholarly legal literature in shaping a legal culture and announced the opening of a dedicated section, “Russia and Human Rights”, within the House of Human Rights. This section was established with books and publications donated by Russian human rights and educational organizations.

Valery Fadeev highlighted that the initiative aims to disseminate knowledge about systems for protecting rights and freedoms and to deepen interstate dialogue.
