According to the World Justice Project – Rule of Law Index 2025, Uzbekistan ranked 17th out of 143 countries in the “Order and Security” category, leading among 15 countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. The “Gallup Global Safety Report” also found that 86% of Uzbekistan’s population feel safe walking alone at night, well above the global average.

The article highlights Uzbekistan’s progress in the Global Peace Index 2026, where the country rose 30 places to 37th among 163 countries. It also cites the U.S. Department of State’s Level 1 travel advisory, the lowest risk level, as well as Uzbekistan’s strong position in the Numbeo index.

In conclusion, “Orta Lectura” states that international rankings and official assessments confirm Uzbekistan’s growing position as a safe, stable and attractive destination for foreign tourists.
