Under the new rules, once a request for interim measures from UN treaty bodies is received through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it must be forwarded within one day to the National Center for Human Rights of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Ministry of Justice.

Within one day, the Center sends inquiries to the relevant state authorities, requesting urgent measures to implement the interim measures and, if necessary, the submission of substantiated explanations. The state authorities are required to provide the Center, within three days, with information on measures taken or planned, along with the relevant explanations.

Based on the information collected and in coordination with a working group, the Center formulates the government’s official position within three days and submits it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Ministry then forwards the official position to the UN treaty bodies within two days.
