This concluded the solemn part of the conference, and the event continued with discussion and suggestions.

The conference was devoted to analyzing the aspects of constitutional norms which limit human rights and freedoms and create unlimited state control, to discussing the constitutional norms or constitutional gaps which allow the economy to develop under excessive state influence, preventing the effective decentralization of state power.

In addition, the parties exchanged views on the formation of a social state in our country, the creation of a constitutional and legal framework aimed at minimizing environmental problems, and the scientific determination of the impact of digitalization on constitutional institutions.

Opinions expressed by scientists-professors, experts, and specialists of organizations under the Ministry of Justice on the improvement of the Constitution, including the inviolability of private property, human rights guarantees, freedom of scientific creation, and the activities of public associations have caused controversy.

In the end, an agreement was reached to combine the proposals in the framework of scientific discussion and to send them to the Constitutional Commission.
