Uzbekistan is preparing to host the 5th Samarkand Forum on Human Rights on September 28-29, 2026, bringing together international experts, representatives of global and regional organizations, government institutions, national human rights bodies, academics, and civil society representatives.
The forum is intended to provide a platform for discussing pressing issues related to human rights, sustainable development, and international cooperation, according to organizers.
Part of Uzbekistan's ongoing human rights diplomacy
The Samarkand Forum on Human Rights has been held periodically in recent years as part of Uzbekistan's efforts to position itself as a venue for international dialogue on human rights issues. Previous editions have similarly drawn participants from international organizations and academic institutions.
