One of the most important issues, which was given special attention during the Samarkand web forum on youth rights, was the issue of education. Education, including human rights education, is a critical factor in the empowerment of youth in today's world. Providing quality education is one of the 17 goals of sustainable development and fundamental human rights.

Human rights education for young people is an important condition and guarantee of active participation of young people in the decision-making process, in the social and political life of the country.

The recognition by the international community of the importance of human rights education is evidenced by the adoption of the World Program for Human Rights Education. The speakers emphasized the need for active participation of young people at the 4th stage of this Program, which began in 2020.

For reference: On December 10, 2004, the UN General Assembly proclaimed the World Program for Human Rights Education (2005 onwards) to promote the implementation of human rights education programs in all sectors. The World Program was established by General Assembly resolution 59/113 (10 December 2004). OHCHR is the global coordinator of the World Program. Unlike the United Nations Decade for Human Rights Education (1995-2004), which was a time-bound one, the World Program is an indefinite one and consists of successive phases, the first of which covered the period 2005 –2009 and focused on primary and secondary school systems, while the second phase was designed for 2010–2014 and related to higher education systems, civil servants, law enforcement officials and the military. The third stage covers the period 2015-2019. and the fourth period is 2020-2024.

The forum itself became a kind of regular event of global importance in the field of human rights, since its purpose was not only to discuss the draft Convention on the Rights of Youth, but also to exchange experiences and opinions, raise awareness of topical issues in the field of ensuring youth rights and human rights in general. providing a deeper understanding of many issues related to youth policy.

Thanks to the involvement of a huge number of participants, the Forum contributed to a comprehensive consideration of all aspects of youth policy of states and the development of new initiatives in this direction.

During the session, it was noted that it is necessary to develop a state policy in the field of education on human rights, improve methods and means of teaching, improve the qualifications of trainers on human rights. The development of international cooperation is of great importance, which once again confirms the importance of this Samarkand forum. The participants noted the special role of academic structures and universities in providing education on human rights.

During the session, it was emphasized that “the issue of teaching human rights is not a matter of discussions and opportunities, but a direct duty of the state to fulfill its international legal obligations. Let us emphasize - the obligations of the state, and not of schools and colleges, institutes and universities, teachers and professors, NGOs and other institutions of civil society ”.

The participants of the forum were especially interested in new initiatives in this direction, in particular, it was proposed: Next year the whole world will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the adoption of the UN Declaration on education and training in the field of human rights. We propose to consider the issue of holding an international conference "Human Rights Education for Youth". The draft Convention proposed to think in a separate article on human rights education among young people, including through the use of ICTs and social media, and to create a Regional Hub for Human Rights Education.
