The republican working group is studying the progress of implementing the Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, adopted on November 3, 2025, which concerns comprehensive measures to effectively protect public health and the national gene pool from drug addiction and drug crimes, in the Jizzakh region.
This document defines priority tasks, such as increasing the effectiveness of the fight against drug addiction, reliably protecting the population, especially youth, from the negative impact of this problem, strengthening the preventive system, and ensuring the coordination of state body activities.
As part of the implementation of the Decree, inspections continued in several districts of the Jizzakh region. In particular, meetings were held in Sharof Rashidov district and the city of Jizzakh with representatives of ministries and departments related to this sphere, law enforcement agencies, and other responsible organizations. During these meetings, a comprehensive analysis of the actual fulfillment of the tasks set out in the document was conducted.
The meetings discussed the fight against the illegal circulation of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, preventing their spread in real-time, and organizing targeted preventive measures. Furthermore, the results of propaganda campaigns aimed at forming legal awareness and a healthy lifestyle among the population, especially among young people, were reviewed. The republican working group thoroughly studied the prepared documents, reports, and supporting materials on the work performed.
During the inspections, official documents, executive discipline, and the level of task completion carried out by responsible organizations were examined separately. Based on the identified situations, specialists provided practical recommendations for further improving work efficiency, strengthening executive discipline, and timely eliminating existing shortcomings in this area.
It is emphasized that the National Plan of Comprehensive Practical Actions for 2025–2026 on combating drug addiction and drug crimes, mentioned above, has been approved. This plan provides for strengthening preventive measures, elevating interdepartmental cooperation to a new level, and defining mechanisms for targeted work based on 'roadmaps' in each region. The ongoing inspections in the Jizzakh region serve to objectively assess the implementation of these tasks locally, eliminate discovered problems, and ensure the timely and high-quality execution of established measures.
Following the inspections, instructions and practical advice were given to responsible persons regarding the need to further strengthen preventive and propaganda work, enhance interdepartmental interaction in the fight against the illegal circulation of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, and ensure that the tasks defined in the Decree are completed within the established deadlines and at a high quality level.
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, stated that Israel must cease the occupation of vast territories in southern Lebanon and stop the destruction of homes.
According to Türk, some Israeli actions in Lebanon could be equated to war crimes. He noted criticism from human rights groups regarding the large-scale destruction of cities and villages, as well as the deaths of dozens of medical workers and journalists.
Türk emphasized that such destruction raises serious questions about compliance with international humanitarian law.
During his visit to Lebanon, Volker Türk met with representatives of state bodies, civil society, and Lebanese people who were forced to leave their homes due to the war.
It is worth recalling that the conflict began on March 2 of this year after Hezbollah attacked Israel with rockets amid tensions between the US and Iran. Following this, Israel launched air and ground strikes on Lebanon, resulting in the death of over 4,000 people and the displacement of 1.2 million people. Israeli forces continue to occupy dozens of towns and villages in southern Lebanon.
According to a statement from the Iranian Armed Forces central headquarters, 'Houtham Al-Anbiya,' Tehran views any attack by the US on nuclear and strategic facilities in the country as a sharp escalation of the regional conflict.
The Iranian military command warned that in the event of an attack, any facilities associated with the US and its allies in the region could become targets for a preemptive retaliatory strike.
Earlier, President Donald Trump had stated plans to strike the Natanz area, where Iran's nuclear centers are located, in the near future.
