IMPLEMENTATION OF INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS INTO THE NATIONAL ADOPTION SYSTEM OF THE REPUBLIC OF UZBEKISTAN: CHALLENGS AND PROSPECTS

The thesis examines the process of implementing international standards into the national adoption system of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Particular attention is paid to international legal instruments in the field of child protection, including universal and regional treaties, and their influence on the development of national adoption legislation. The study identifies key challenges arising in the alignment of domestic legal norms with international obligations, such as fragmentation of regulation, institutional gaps, and difficulties in law enforcement practice. Based on an analysis of current legislation and international requirements, the thesis proposes possible directions for improving the legal framework governing adoption in the Republic of Uzbekistan. The author concludes that a systematic approach to the implementation of international standards is essential to ensure the primacy of the best interests of the child and to enhance the effectiveness of the national adoption system.
