“RECENT AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION OF UZBEKISTAN ON PERTAINING THE MODERNIZATION AND IMROVEMENT OF LEGISLATIVE, EXECUTIVE, AND JUDICIAL BODIES”

Abstract

This article elucidates the legal intricacies concerning the interplay among the branches of state authority, as outlined in Article 11 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan. It delves into the delineation of duties and responsibilities of each supreme body of state power and the dynamics of their interaction. The revised Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan, ratified on April 30, 2023, brought clarity to the jurisdiction of state authorities. Notably, it expanded the prerogatives of the parliament and provided clarity on the presidential powers vis-à-vis the executive branch. In addition, it introduced the mechanism of parliamentary oversight over the activities of state administrative bodies and reinforced procedures for implementing appropriate legal measures based on its findings. Additionally, it defined the scope of authority for heads of the judiciary system occupying key governmental positions. Drawing on the experiences of democratic nations, the article examines these democratic reforms and their implications.
