15 events, more than 1,000 participants and international experts – from 16 November to 4 December 2026, the Law Enforcement Academy of the Republic of Uzbekistan will become an international platform for dialogue on contemporary challenges and new solutions in upholding the rule of law and maintaining public order.
The programme of the International Law Enforcement Forum, held to mark the 35th anniversary of the establishment of the prosecution authorities of the Republic of Uzbekistan, will bring together representatives of law enforcement agencies, educational and research institutions, and international organisations. A total of 150 leading international experts from more than 40 countries and international organisations are expected to participate in person.
The overall objective of the programme is to bring together practical experience, scientific knowledge and modern technologies to address the operational challenges facing law enforcement. The key focus areas include combating emerging threats, improving the effectiveness of criminal investigations, protecting human rights, and training professionals capable of working in a rapidly changing environment.
The events will be held with the support of the OSCE, GIZ, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), INTERPOL, the International Olympic Committee and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
The programme will begin on 16 November with a five-day international training course aimed at strengthening capacities to combat cybercrime in Central Asia. Supported by the OSCE, the training will bring together 23 representatives of law enforcement agencies from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
Over the course of three weeks, international and national conferences, seminars and round-table discussions will address counterterrorism, anti-corruption, combating money laundering and terrorist financing, investigating drug-related crimes, and advancing digital forensics. The programme will also cover legal education and research, gender-related aspects of law enforcement, the protection of the rights of persons with disabilities, and the fight against corruption in sport.
The central event will be the Tashkent Law Enforcement Forum – 2026, an international scientific and practical forum opening on 26 November under the theme “Upholding the Rule of Law and Public Order: Contemporary Challenges and New Solutions.”
During the plenary session and parallel sessions, participants will discuss ways to improve the activities of prosecution authorities, modern investigative methods using innovative technologies, and approaches to combating corruption and financial crime.
A dedicated session of the Network of Law and Justice Education Institutions of Turkic States will focus on combating cybercrime, the exchange of digital evidence and the capabilities of digital forensics.
The final part of the programme will feature national events on digital forensics and upholding the rule of law, a Young Researchers Forum, an international seminar on promoting integrity in sport, and a conference dedicated to the rights of persons with disabilities.
The international dialogue will also lead to practical cooperation, with new partnerships being established. As part of the Forum, the Academy is expected to sign a number of agreements and memoranda of understanding with foreign institutions and international organisations.
The outcomes of the three-week programme will be reviewed at a final round-table discussion on 4 December.
The Forum aims to strengthen cooperation between law enforcement agencies, the academic community and educational institutions, expand international partnerships, and promote the introduction of modern approaches to upholding the rule of law, maintaining public order and protecting human rights.
