OSCE Project Co-ordinator promotes legal protection of private property rights in Uzbekistan
The OSCE Project Co-ordinator in Uzbekistan (PCUz) held an online seminar on the outcomes of studying a number of international conventions of the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH) on 14 December 2020. The event was organized in co-operation with the Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan, the non-governmental organization “Legal Problems Research Center”, and the Hague Conference on Private International Law.
Over 50 participants, including high-level state officials, representatives of HCCH and OSCE experts, attended the online meeting.
The main objective of the event was to discuss major research findings from the study of selected international HCCH conventions and prospects of accession to the conventions. The research was conducted by two groups of national experts invited by the PCUz. Experts who participated in the seminar put forward evidence-based recommendations and proposals that promote private international law development in Uzbekistan.
“This event is particularly significant for mainstreaming the legal framework in order to ensure the protection of property rights and integrate international best practice,” said John MacGregor, OSCE Project Co-ordinator in Uzbekistan. “This event also contributes to the ongoing comprehensive reforms and improvement of investment climate in Uzbekistan.”
