The Electoral System of the Republic of Uzbekistan 
 
The elections in our Republic are held on the basis of universal, 
equal and direct suffrage by secret ballot. All citizens of the Republic 
of Uzbekistan at the age of 18 have the right to vote. Every citizen has 
only one vote. 
According to the Constitution every citizen of our Republic at the 
age 25 can be elected to the Oliy Majlis. 
The Uzbek electoral system makes no difference between men and 
women or between Russians, Ukrainians, Uzbeks or any other 
nationality and they have the same rights. Citizens serving in the 
armed forces of the Republic of Uzbekistan have the right to elect and 
to be elected on equal terms with other citizens. 
Elections are usually held on Sundays. Democracy is the essential 
feature of our electoral system. All candidates to the Soviets of 
People’s Deputies are nominated by mass organizations. Which 
candidate will be nominated by a given collective is decided by a

majority vote. Deputies must report back to their electors. They may 
be recalled if they don’t justify their electors’ confidence.

The United Nations Organization: Purposes and Principles 
 
The United Nations Organization came into existence on October 
24, 1945, when the Charter had been ratified by China, France, the 
USSR, the United Kingdom and the United States and by a majority 
of other signatories. 
The purposes of the United Nations are: to maintain international 
peace and security; to develop friendly relations among nations based 
on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of 
peoples; to cooperate in solving international economic, social, 
cultural and humanitarian problems and in promoting respect for 
human rights and fundamental freedoms; to be a centre for 
harmonizing the actions of nations in attaining these common ends. 
The UN acts in accordance with the following principles: It is 
based on the sovereign equality of all its Members. All Members are 
to fulfill in good faith their Charter obligations: They are to settle their 
international disputes by peaceful means and without endangering 
international peace, security and justice. They are to refrain from the 
threat or use of force against other states. They are to give the United 
Nations every assistance in any action it takes in accordance with the 
Charter and shall not assist States against which the UN is taking 
preventive or enforcement action; nothing in the Charter is to 
authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are 
essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any State. 
Membership of the UN is open to all peace-loving nations which 
accept the obligations of the Charter and, in the judgment of the 
Organization, are willing and able to carry out these obligations.
Uzbekistan has been the Member State since March 2, 1992. New 
Member States are admitted by the General Assembly on the 
recommendation of the Security Council.
