The Establishment of a System of Administrative Courts in the Republic of Uzbekistan: Issues and Prospects

Abstract

One of the most significant results of the judicial reform that took place in 2017 in the Republic of Uzbekistan is the creation of a system of administrative courts empowered to consider cases arising from public law relations. The article shows the specificity of the model of administrative justice that has developed in this state, as well as the peculiarities of the procedure for considering administrative cases in Uzbekistan. Based on the analysis of legislation and law enforcement practice, a set of measures is proposed to further improve the system of administrative courts and administrative court proceedings in Uzbekistan: change in the territorial organization of courts; exclusion of the possibility of one court to act as different instances in a specific administrative case; clearer regulation of the rules of jurisdiction, etc.
