Poetry from Makfiratkhon Abdurakhmonova

Makfiratkhon Abdurakhmonova
In the realm where dreams reside....


In the realm where dreams reside,
Lies a tale that must be untied.
A story of forgotten lands,
Of whispered secrets in shifting sands.

Behold! A world so full of wonder,
Where stars ignite and heavens thunder.
Where moonbeams dance upon the streams,
And sunsets paint ethereal gleams.

In this realm, love blossoms true,
Where hearts entwine like morning dew.
A symphony of laughter fills the air,
As souls connect beyond compare.

But amidst this beauty, darkness creeps,
It slumbers there, silently it seeps.
A shadow cast upon the light,
Threatening to devour all in sight.

Yet hope ignites within each soul,
Burning bright, making them whole.
They rise against the tempest's might,
With courage fierce, they take to flight.

For in this realm, strength is found,
In unity, their spirits bound.
Together they face the looming storm,
Defying fate's relentless norm.

Through valleys deep and mountains tall,
They march with purpose, standing tall.
Their voices rise in unison,
A symphony of resilience begun.

And as they fight against the night,
Their spirits glow with radiant light.
For even when darkness seems so vast,
Hope endures and shadows won't last.

So let us join this sacred place,
Embrace its beauty and embrace its grace.
For within its depths lies life's sweet song,
An eternal melody that keeps us strong.

A book is a world seen through a person

In order to reach maturity, one must first think about the purity of the heart. Purity of heart is achieved only when the heart seeks the truth and the soul strives for enlightenment. All this depends on true knowledge. It is clear as day that there is a very strong meaning behind these thoughts expressed by Confucius. Reading a book beautifies a person’s heart and fills his soul with spiritual nourishment. One of my favorite places is the library. I like books. When I see them, I calm down a lot, my soul finds comfort. Those who aim for the development and intellectual growth of our society should definitely read the book. Everyone should be able to properly assess their interests, think about what kind of books they like, what kind of works they enjoy reading. If you read books, you will become stronger than others. What do you say? No one can defeat you if you have a strong spirit. Strength in the body will eventually run out, that’s for sure, but no one can take away the strength in the spirit. Pay attention, look around you, in this world, whoever believes in his physical strength, who relies on his bravery, begins to lose strength over time. As for the soul, it is getting stronger, growing and developing.

I realized this when I was a child. The fairy tales and stories told by my mother made me free, and my love for books and learning increased. My mother, who supervised my reading every day, listened to my thoughts and communicated freely with me. Every day I studied a new topic and told my mother about it. I would like them to hold an umbrella of answers in the rain of questions without asking why and why. When I was in the 1st grade, I heard the condition set by our librarian to recite 40 proverbs on the New Year’s holiday. Everyone was surprised, whispering in my ears that this girl was memorizing. I gathered my thoughts and started to say, look, I surprised everyone with 42 proverbs. Then our librarian congratulated and said who can say more proverbs than this girl? They asked a question. But no one could do it. All teachers envy me now. That day, I returned home happy after receiving a New Year’s gift from our receptionist. I still remember my childhood with sweet memories.

This is where my enthusiasm, the love of my father, the trust of my father, the recognition of my teachers, and the respect of my loved ones come from. I have loved the library since I was a child. We are moving step by step over time, and in the blink of an eye, we completed the 3rd stage. Now it was time for practice. Before us, the practice was spent in publishing houses, but we were sent to the library. We were sent to my favorite place… the newly opened library in our district. I came and looked around with special affection. The books seemed to shine on the shelves. I don’t know about anyone else, but I really like going to the library. I would like to express my gratitude to Sister Zulkhumor and Sister Saida, who gave me the first ideas about special books in the library. We organized an interesting art party at this location the very week we arrived. We told the children about Cholpon’s art, performances, and interesting facts. The students of Barkamol Avlod organization returned home with a lot of necessary information. In general, we came to this place with our fellow students every day and read our favorite books.

Elementary or middle grade Central Asian students seated at desks with books and paper in a library with books and magazines on racks.

There are misunderstandings that happen everywhere, but we got out of them. We worked on new projects, came up with new ideas for the little ones. I love our new library in Yangibozor district, I have a different love for the books that are being picked from the high shelves, as if they are telling me about secrets and giving me news. For a little girl who never gets tired of learning new things, internship in this place was a very interesting activity. A book is a world seen through a person.

EDUCATION

      My grandmother says that a newborn baby smells like heaven. After all, every person gets his education from his family. The way he is treated in the family, he is treated in the street as well.

     People show their family upbringing to strangers. If the environment and friends at home are good, the child will always hear good words. If it is bad, it will be the opposite.

    It is up to each person to choose the good path and to follow the bad path.

    You have a choice. Educated people have love for others, respect for elders, and respect for children until the end of their lives. Because these qualities are taught by parents in the family.

  Where there is no education, there will never be science and knowledge.

Poetry from Durdona Roxmatullayeva

Wait

If I lose my heart to the snow of winter,
Close my eyes and bear it,
Even if I hang myself, it’s the medicine of love.
I will think of you forever
I will tell the sky about my pain.
Spring does not come to my garden anymore,
To my cheerful lips, as if laughter did not run,
My arms are filled with empty hopes,
But I will think of you forever
I will tell my dream to the star.
If you didn’t exist, I wouldn’t see you
My heart did not burn with pain,
I don’t even know what I want.
I will remember your two worlds,
At night, I’m having a hard time.
Even though my eyes are full of youth,
It’s bad if everyone calls me you
Only you, one side of you,
I look forward,
I will watch your ways...

Education and upbringing

Education and training! Although these words do not exactly repeat each other, it is difficult to imagine them without each other, because education is one of the highest manifestations of education. Education is a process that combines physical, mental and spiritual conditions. It is inevitable that a well-educated person will be unequaled in the field of education. It is known that education is given more in the educational process. From the day students come to school, a desire to learn is formed. They gradually develop a need for knowledge and begin to receive spiritual nourishment. With this, high feelings such as yearning for the future, desire, thirst for work, love for the motherland, selflessness, perseverance, courage, friendship, goodness appear in the students. Education is the oldest lifelong value. Everyone in life has an educational influence. In my opinion, as mentioned above, the concepts of education and upbringing cannot be imagined separately. There is no education without upbringing, just as there is no education without upbringing. Development of education and upbringing is one of the most pressing issues today. A number of extensive works are being carried out in the field of education. Today's youth should be armed with "STRONG BODY, HEALTHY MIND AND GOOD MORALS". The future is in the hands of educated and educated youth!‌‌

Country!!! Did you feel the power of that one word? You say that this word did not shake the hearts of some, and did not make them cry! There is a world of meaning in a five letter word. So what is Homeland? The homeland is the place where the blood from the navel of man and his descendants was shed. The homeland is the abode of the ancestors, the land where the nation grew up, where its language, religion, history, culture, traditions and values were truly formed and developed. The homeland is each of our breaths, our beating heart, our innocent eyes full of love...

The more the country is described, the less it seems. Therefore, in a nutshell, Homeland is the place where every person was born and raised. As the homeland is dear to everyone, my heavenly and beautiful homeland is also dear and holy. My homeland is UZBEKISTAN.

      Our country has all the conditions, only one thing is required of us. As they say, "A child who reads a book now will lead a hundred children who watch television in the future." This is the requirement of our time.

People have to deal with problems carefully throughout their lives, even if they are small. After all, problems that seem insignificant to us can radically change our lives. In fact, our daily life and every action consists of these tests. If we courageously overcome these obstacles, we will undoubtedly achieve our goals in life. I think all young people in the country need attention and conditions. Because every young generation living and growing up in this country has the right to receive an education. We can only justify the confidence of the whole country if we unite and become one force. Because "Strength is in unity".

If the children of the world unite and concentrate all their efforts on acquiring knowledge, no dangerous idea can defeat such a noble force.

In my imagination, a peaceful world is an example of the sea. The calmer and more peaceful the sea, the more peaceful the aquatic creatures at the bottom of the sea. The same is true for humans. When the whole world is at peace, people in all countries live in peace and freedom.

For young people to have a peaceful future, it is necessary for them to work together, learn innovative ideas, exchange ideas with young people from other countries and exchange knowledge and skills based on experience.

Essay from Shakhnoza Ulashova

Ensuring human rights by improving the legal profession

         Abstract: The new development strategy of Uzbekistan envisages the effective organization of independent advocacy activities. Protecting the rights, freedoms and legal interests of citizens in judicial and investigative activities is an urgent task today. In this regard, the “Concept of Independent Advocacy” should be developed and put into practice. At all stages of the investigation and trial, the role of the lawyer should be increased, the independence of the bar institute, the effective protection of the rights and legal interests of lawyers should be ensured. The main purpose of writing this article is to ensure that lawyers provide timely and quality qualified assistance to citizens by improving the Institute of Advocacy in Uzbekistan.

Key words: advocacy, legal aid, human rights, legality, independence, self-management, modern information and communication technologies, concept of independent advocacy, digital advocacy.

The goal of ensuring the interests of people, their rights and freedoms is embodied in the center of politics run by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev. In recent years, in our country, a large-scale effort aimed at providing reliable guarantees of protection of the rights and freedoms of citizens, first of all, from criminal aggression, as well as to prevent discrimination of a person, his honor and dignity, and limitation of his legal interests things are being done consistently. As stated in the book “Development Strategy of New Uzbekistan” by the head of our state, “The Development Strategy of New Uzbekistan envisages the effective organization of the independent legal profession. Protecting the rights, freedoms and legal interests of citizens in judicial and investigative activities is the most important task today.”

The 19th goal of the development strategy is to “fundamentally increase the capacity of the Bar Institute to protect human rights, freedoms and legal interests, as well as fully satisfy the demand of the population and business entities for qualified legal services.”

To achieve this priority goal, the following tasks are defined:

first, to transfer the bar institute to a full-fledged self-management system and to attract young qualified personnel to the bar;

secondly, to strengthen the accountability of the governing bodies of the Chamber of Advocates to the community of lawyers;

thirdly, formation of the modern and institutional basis of the lawyer training system;

fourthly, digitalization of advocacy activities. In other words, to put an end to excessive bureaucracy and red tape by introducing modern information technologies to advocacy activities, to establish the exchange of electronic documents with courts, law enforcement bodies and other state bodies;

fifthly, it is envisaged to expand the scope of free legal assistance.

In order to improve the institution of advocacy in our republic as an important component of the legal system, programs aimed at increasing the participation and importance of lawyers in the consideration of criminal, civil, administrative and economic cases, as well as ensuring the guarantees of reliable protection of the rights, freedoms and legal interests of individuals and legal entities is being implemented. The legal framework necessary for lawyers to successfully carry out their professional activities is being consistently formed, and the system of providing legal assistance and legal advice services is being improved.

To date, the status of the legal profession has been further strengthened in the newly revised Constitution, and a separate Chapter 24 entitled “Law Firm” has been added.

At this point, if we analyze the provisions related to the legal profession defined in the newly revised Constitution, the legal profession operates to provide qualified legal assistance to individuals and legal entities in accordance with Article 141 of the Constitution.

Advocacy activities are based on the principles of legality, independence and self-management.

The procedure for the organization of the Bar Association and its activity is determined by law.

In this article, the activities of the legal profession are based on the principles of legality, independence and self-governance at the level of the Constitution. In this case, the legality of the lawyer’s activity means that the lawyer’s activity is carried out only in strict compliance with the law.

According to Article 5 of the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan “On Guarantees of Advocacy and Social Protection of Lawyers”, the independence of a lawyer: granting him permission to practice law, suspension and termination of this activity,

lawyer’s immunity;

prohibiting the requirement to disclose the lawyer’s secret;

responsibility for interfering with the lawyer’s work or violating the lawyer’s privacy;

provided by the state through the provision of legal guarantees and social protection.

According to Article 142 of our Constitution, it is not allowed to interfere with the activity of a lawyer while he is performing his professional duties.

Conditions for the lawyer to meet with the person under his protection without obstacles and to give advice are provided.

A lawyer, his honor, dignity and professional activity are under the protection of the state and are protected by law.

The strengthening of non-interference in the lawyer’s professional activity at the constitutional level serves as an important factor in creating a strong legal system. This provision is a constitutional expression of the idea that “no office shall interfere with the activities of lawyers”. This norm ensures that the lawyer enters into an equal discussion with the prosecutor during the court proceedings, and as a result of not interfering with the activities of collecting and presenting evidence in the case, the legal status of the bar is strengthened.

Freedom in advocacy and elimination of any obstacles not only eases the lawyer’s work, but also ensures the legal rights and interests of the person whom the lawyer protects.

It should be recognized that the many changes made to the Constitution, especially the innovations in the field of “Advocacy” have pleased the lawyer community of our country. Because the legal status of the legal profession and advocacy activities is defined in a separate chapter of our Constitution, it means that the position of lawyers in society is being raised to a higher level.

At the same time, in the new version of our Constitution, the lawyer, his honor, dignity and professional activity are protected by the state, and the status of lawyers as an important person who ensures justice has been strengthened by a document with high legal force at the level of the Constitution.

A number of other important documents are being developed in our country to increase the capacity of the legal institute. In my opinion, one of them is the need to develop the Code of Advocacy. All laws and normative legal documents related to the field should be embodied in this code.

The legal basis of the legal service sector is also being improved. In particular, drafts of the laws “On the contractual legal framework and legal service” and “On free legal aid”, as well as the concept of comprehensive legal protection of the population are being prepared.

Intensive work is being done on the preparation of the concept of an independent legal profession. The concept, in particular:

— Strengthening the role of the lawyer in protecting the rights, freedoms and legal interests of citizens at all stages of the investigation and trial;

— To further improve the activities of the Chamber of Advocates, to ensure its literal independence, to transfer the legal institute to a fully self-management system, to increase the accountability of the governing bodies of the Chamber of Advocates to the community of lawyers, to introduce young and qualified professionals to the system attraction

— includes tasks in the main areas such as the development of “digital advocacy”.

The following tasks are being implemented for the development of Digital Advocacy in our country:

firstly, introduction of modern information and communication technologies to advocacy activities;

secondly, to establish an electronic exchange of information between the legal profession, court and law enforcement bodies, and other state bodies in order to ensure the rapid acquisition of information necessary for the implementation of advocacy activities;

thirdly, to expand the possibilities of providing online legal assistance to individuals and legal entities by lawyers through a special information program;

fourthly, it is important to note that it is necessary to create information systems, databases and other software products necessary for the activities of the legal profession and to ensure comprehensive protection and confidentiality of the information stored in them.

It is very important to introduce modern information and communication technologies to the Advocacy system in Uzbekistan. Consequently, the new steps in this regard allow to increase the independence of the legal institute from state bodies and other structures by eliminating the human factor in the system’s operation.

Advocacy is not a state body, but a community of skilled professionals who know their work well and deeply understand the responsibility of their duties. In this sense, I would like to put forward the following suggestions:

firstly, Advocacy Day – setting the date of the professional holiday of representatives of the lawyers’ community;

secondly, establishment of the badge “The best lawyer”;

thirdly, to create a comprehensive, open and reliable source of information, which will be useful not only for citizens, but also for law enforcement agencies and courts, through the creation of the “Unified State Register of Lawyers”

fourth, strengthening the training of lawyers and the issue of staff shortage

fifthly, special importance should be given to issues such as the training of lawyers in higher educational institutions in the field of law, the introduction of the “Law of Advocacy” training course, and the organization of internships for students in the field of advocacy.

In short, the 1996 Law on Advocacy was the most comprehensive law regulating the practice of lawyers for more than 20 years and remains so. The biggest problem in the field is that from the day the law was adopted until today, its implementation has not been sufficiently ensured, and the disrespectful attitude of the employees of the judicial and legal sector to the person of a lawyer has extinguished the interest of future personnel to take up this profession, and they are only interested in the profession of prosecutors and judges. caused an increase. In my opinion, a lawyer is a person who performs one of the main roles in the judicial process. . According to the current law, lawyers are hired to provide free legal aid by the state only for criminal cases. In my opinion, I would suggest providing a lawyer to provide free legal services not only in criminal court cases, but also in economic, administrative and civil cases.
