About Constitution Day
Uzbekistan marks Constitution Day on December 8. The date refers to the adoption of its Constitution on December 8, 1992 by the republic’s Supreme Council.
The national holiday is documented by government portals. It concerns Uzbekistan specifically and should not be confused with similarly named holidays elsewhere.
Why Constitution Day matters
Constitution Day is a public occasion for considering the country’s constitutional framework, the powers of public institutions and the rights and responsibilities addressed in its basic law.
Public speeches and civic lessons may interpret constitutional development differently. An informative guide should distinguish documented dates from wider political evaluations.
History of Constitution Day
The original 1992 Constitution was adopted on December 8, 1992. Uzbekistan’s government identifies the same date as its annual Constitution Day public holiday.
The constitutional text was subsequently revised, including a major constitutional referendum in 2023. Those later changes do not alter the commemorated adoption date of the 1992 constitution.
