APPEAL

President of the Senate of the Republic of Uzbekistan
Mr. Ilgizar Sobirov

Prime Minister of the Republic of Uzbekistan
Mr. Shavkat Mirziyoev

We nizhepodpisavschiesya representatives of civil society in Uzbekistan, are writing to you about bringing in agricultural work for full-study schools, lyceums and colleges, and students of higher educational institutions (universities). It is gratifying that with the beginning of the boycott on the purchase of Uzbek cotton in a number of renowned international companies like Tesco, Walmart, Target, Levi Strauss, Gap, Limited Brands and Marks and Spencer, H & M of Uzbekistan in the first half of 2008, ratified two UN document on child labor: Conventions ILO ? 138 “On the Minimum Age for Admission to Employment and the UN ? 182” On the Prohibition and Immediate Action for the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labour “. You are well aware that despite the ratification of these international instruments in Uzbekistan is still used forced child labor. Continued involuntary involvement of children 12-16 years of age to agricultural labor. According to various independent estimates from 1,6 to 2,5 million children under the age of ten to fifteen years, and tens of thousands of students and civil servants every two months in the autumn forcibly brought to the processing of cotton and picking cotton. During this period, attracted by agricultural work, students of schools, lyceums and colleges, and university students are fully detached from school, and children under the supervision of teachers picking cotton a week, from 7 am to 7 pm. They work in fields treated with pesticides used for the destruction of cotton leaves. Nobody asks the children and their parents, they want to have children work in the fields in appalling conditions: under the sun, scant food, complete lack of hygiene in the field overnight, and for non-established norms of the cotton harvest – public humiliation and physical beatings. Child labor in cotton fields is not the result of initiatives of their families, and organized by local authorities on the direct orders of the government. Every sensible person realizes that the involvement of pupils, students for 2-3 months for the cotton harvest dramatically reduces the quality of education. Incidentally, during the Soviet period the quality of education is lagging behind compared to other Soviet republics because of the involvement of pupils and students to pick cotton. In independent Uzbekistan the quality of education has deteriorated because of poverty (26% of Uzbekistan’s population lives in grinding poverty), rampant graft and corruption. At school teachers, university teachers because of low wages insufficient motivation for a qualitative study of schoolchildren and students. Without quality education it is impossible to develop science, technology and economy. Here recall the experience fully restore the shattered economy of Germany and Japan because of World War II. These two countries, despite the paucity of subsurface mineral ispokaemyh in Germany or almost complete absence in Japan, by improving the quality of education, the rapid industrialization of the economy, democratization of society and, of course, with the help of the United States for 20 years, not only revived their economy, but raised it a higher degree. In Uzbekistan, as to the level of the economy before the collapse of the Soviet Union not only not been achieved, not achieved the necessary condition for its successful development – democratization of the Uzbek society. It is appropriate to give some indicators of Uzbekistan in comparison with other countries in the world and the world at large. In Uzbekistan the works of national products per capita in 2009 was 2,800 USD, and the average for the world 10.500 USD. In Uzbekistan, the coverage of the Internet is 16,8% (2010), the world’s 26,6% and 39,8% in Kyrgyzstan. According
to Transparency International of Uzbekistan on the level of corruption takes 174 place among 180 countries in the world, that is among the top ten most corrupt countries in the world.
According to Freedom House Uzbekistan is among the top ten most repressive countries in the world (2010). According to the CIA made production per person is: (2009) in Estonia – $ 18.800, Russia – $ 15.200, Lithuania – $ 15.000, Latvia – $ 14.500, Belarus – $ 11,600, Kazakstan – $ 11.400, Azarbaydzhane – $ 9.900, Turkmenistan – $ 6.700, Ukraine – $ 6.400, Armenia – $ 5.900, Georgia – $ 4.500, Uzbekistan – $ 2.800, Moldova – $ 2.400, Kyrgyzstan – $ 2.100, Tajikistan – $ 1.800 and the world average – $ 10.500.
(Https: / / www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2004rank.html countryName = Ukraine & countryCode = up & regionCode = eu & rank = 128 # up).
As seen from the above data the economy of post-Soviet countries such as Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova and Uzbekistan are located very far from average. Uzbekistan’s economy is on the deplorable state, despite the fact that the country is rich in labor, natural resources, underground mineral resources such as gas, gold, oil, etc.
We believe that: 1) involving students and school pupils, as well as students at colleges and universities for the cultivation of cotton and cotton harvest is a flagrant violation of the authorities of Uzbekistan Constitution, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, ratified by Uzbekistan, 28 September 1995, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, ratified by Uzbekistan In 1992, the ILO Conventions ? 138 “On the Minimum Age for Admission to Employment and ? 182 of the UN concerning the Prohibition and Immediate Action for the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labour, ratified by Uzbekistan in 2008; 2) due to lack of work or a pauper’s salary more than 3 million Uzbek citizens were forced to leave in search of work in Russia, Kazakhstan, South Korea and other countries from which they remit to Uzbekistan at least 3 billion USD. Given that the sale of cotton fiber, our country receives more than one billion USD revenue can be safely abandon the involvement of pupils and students to pick cotton as well as 10 years ago in Uzbekistan from labor migrants hard currency has been received; 3) experience in developing industrial countries like USA, UK, Germany, France, Japan, South Korea shows that without quality education is impossible to develop science, technology, industry and economy; 4) forced recruitment of children for the hard work of forming them into slavish mentality, a man with such a mentality is not able to perceive their rights and freedoms, and therefore can not fully participate in building a democratic society. For these reasons, we demand a halt to the involvement of pupils and students to pick cotton. Sincerely: Abdujalil Boymatov
