On November 20, 2025, the Department of “International Law and Public Law Disciplines” of the University of World Economy and Diplomacy (UWED) held a master class entitled “Contemporary Challenges to International Humanitarian Law” as part of the course International Humanitarian Law. The event was organized under the leadership of Associate Professor Sh.M. Khamdamova and featured one of the leading researchers in international law in Central Asia — Sergey Vyacheslavovich Sayapin, Professor at the School of Law of KIMEP University (Kazakhstan). During the master class, Professor Sayapin addressed actual issues in the development of international humanitarian law in the context of modern armed conflicts, with particular emphasis on challenges related to hybrid warfare, the digitalization of armed conflict, and the transformation of traditional mechanisms of international accountability. Special attention was given to the application of IHL norms in the use of autonomous weapon systems and unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as legal responsibility for their deployment. The following topics generated particular interest among students: · adaptation of international humanitarian law to autonomous weapon systems and UAVs; · the potential crisis in the effectiveness of international accountability mechanisms for war crimes; · specific features of the regional approach of post-Soviet states to the application of IHL norms; · the effectiveness of international judicial institutions in holding perpetrators accountable for violations of international humanitarian law. The master class was conducted in an interactive format and sparked lively discussion, contributing to the enhancement of students’ academic awareness and critical understanding of contemporary trends in international humanitarian law. Such initiatives play an important role in strengthening academic cooperation and fostering the scientific potential of UWED students in the field of international law.

The campaign “One student - one tree” was held at UWED

On November 20 of this year, the University of World Economy and Diplomacy held an environmental campaign "One Student – One Tree" as part of the nationwide project "Green Space". The event was aimed at improving the environmental culture of students, expanding their practical participation in environmental conservation and landscaping the university territory. The event was opened by the First Vice-Rector for Youth Work and Spiritual and Educational Work of the UWED O. Yusupdzhanov, who noted: “The main goal of the 'One Student, One Tree' initiative is to educate young people in environmental awareness and strengthen their practical role in protecting the environment. Planting at least one tree by each student contributes not only to the landscaping of our territories, but also to the formation of a responsible attitude to nature among young people. Support for such initiatives and their systematic continuation are among the priorities of our university”. The guest of honor of the event was the First Deputy Chairman of the Ecological Party of Uzbekistan B. Khafizov, who emphasized: “Ensuring environmental sustainability requires a conscious and responsible attitude from every member of society. The 'One Student, One Tree' initiative is an important step in strengthening the role of young people in environmental development and involving them in practical activities. As the Ecological Party, we support such good initiatives and highly appreciate the contribution of young people to creating a greener, healthier and more sustainable future for our country”. During the campaign, 10 acacia seedlings, 10 ash seedlings and 10 badryanka seedlings were planted on the territory of the university. We are confident that the trees planted today will turn into beautiful, sprawling trees in the future and will contribute to the creation of a green and environmentally friendly environment.

THINK ROAD FORUM 2025 dedicated to rethinking sustainable development in Central Asia was held at UWED

The Institute for Advanced International Studies (IAIS) at the University of World Economy and Diplomacy (UWED) hosted its flagship THINK ROAD FORUM on 18–19 November 2025 under the theme “Rethinking Sustainable Development in Central Asia in the Age of Emerging Regionalism”. The two-day conference brought together leading policymakers, diplomats, academics, experts, public sector, and civil society from across Central Asia and beyond to discuss how the region can pursue sustainable and inclusive development amid profound geopolitical and economic shifts. The Forum featured high-level participation from key national ministries and agencies, research institutions and think tanks, the diplomatic corps. Major international and development organizations, as well as several leading universities and think tanks from the United States, Europe and Asia, are represented at the event, underscoring the Forum’s role as a genuinely international platform for dialogue on Central Asia’s future. Designed as a space for evidence-based, policy-oriented discussion, THINK ROAD FORUM 2025 focuses on how a new wave of regionalism in Central Asia, combined with global transitions in energy, climate and technology, is reshaping the strategic choices of the region’s states and societies. Conference opened with a high-level plenary chaired by Dr Akram Umarov, First Vice-Rector of UWED and Director of IAIS, featuring H.E. Sodyq Safoev, First Deputy Chairman of the Senate of the Republic of Uzbekistan and Rector of UWED, H.E. Javlon Vakhabov, Deputy Advisor to the President of Uzbekistan on Foreign Policy and Director of International Institute for Central Asia, and Prof. Jennifer Brick Murtazashvili, Director of the Center for Governance and Markets at the University of Pittsburgh. The first day covered four interlinked sessions on geopolitical and security considerations for sustainable development in Central Asia; sustainable economic development, trade, investment and connectivity; accelerating the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy; and regional climate change adaptation and water resource management. Across these four sessions, participants discussed how shifting geopolitics and competing integration formats influence Central Asia’s security architecture and foreign policy choices; how regional economic corridors, transport routes and investment partnerships can support long-term, inclusive growth; how governments and business can design a just and orderly energy transition; and how enhanced regional cooperation on climate resilience, transboundary rivers and water diplomacy can underpin sustainable development and prevent future crises. Special attention is given to practical policy tools, regulatory reforms, and the role of regional institutions in managing common resources. Day II began with the launch of “The Transition Trap: Three Decades of Transition in Central Asia” by Prof. Adham Khudaykulov, Rector of newly established Tashkent Tech University, setting the tone for an in-depth reflection on the social and technological dimensions of sustainable development. The second day then turned to two major themes: the social dimensions of sustainable development and the role of artificial intelligence and digital connectivity in shaping Central Asia’s future. Two consequent sessions discussed how education systems, youth policies, social protection, gender equality and community-level engagement can be strengthened to ensure that the benefits of regional growth and integration are shared widely, including with vulnerable groups and remote regions. Participants examined how multi-stakeholder partnerships between governments, development partners, the private sector and universities can support an inclusive and human-centered digital transformation in Central Asia. By convening leading figures from academia, international organizations, civil society, public sector and decision-makers THINK ROAD FORUM 2025 aims to build a sustained platform for dialogue and cooperation. Over two days, the discussions on geopolitics, economy, energy, climate, social policy, and digital transformation are expected to generate concrete ideas and partnerships that will help Central Asian states navigate emerging regionalism and move towards a more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient future. In doing so, IAIS at UWED reaffirms its core mission of bridging academic research with practical policymaking, ensuring that evidence-based analysis informs strategic decisions in Uzbekistan and across Central Asia, and that regional policy debates, in turn, shape the Institute’s research agenda and teaching.
