Legislative Chamber of Oliy Majlis of Uzbekistan passed the law on 24 May 2011 and Senate approved it on 27 August 2011.

The document is aimed at ratification of the document, signed by Uzbekistan at the 24th session of the Universal Postal Union on 12 August 2008 in Geneva.

Uzbekistan joined the Universal Postal Union in 1994 and inked its Constitution and Final protocol (Vienna, 10 July 19964), and later to seven additional protocols to the Constitution of Universal Postal Union. All these documents are ratified by Uzbekistan.
