Gulbahor Usmonovna Orzikulova — 2026-02-09

Improving the judicial and legal system is a key feature of a democratic state governed by the rule of law. Despite extensive reforms implemented in New Uzbekistan, challenges such as inconsistency in judicial practice, delays in case consideration, staff shortages, procedural shortcomings, and threats to judicial independence remain. This article examines these issues and proposes solutions, including ensuring the stability of court decisions, expanding digital justice, strengthening procedural discipline, and enhancing public legal awareness. The proposed measures aim to improve the effectiveness of the judicial system and reinforce the rule of law.

Khumoyun Alisherovich Nazarov — 2026-05-29

This article analyzes, from a historical and archaeological perspective, the ecological, military-political, socio-economic, and ethnocultural factors of migration processes that took place in Central Asia in antiquity and the early Middle Ages. The study reveals the influence of the region’s geographical position within the Eurasian continent, its natural and climatic conditions, processes of aridization, river valleys, foothill zones, pasture resources, mining raw materials, and trade-communication routes on population movements. On the basis of archaeological materials, ancient Persian inscriptions, accounts of classical authors, Chinese chronicles, Arab-Persian sources, and modern historiographical interpretations, migrations are assessed not as accidental demographic phenomena in the history of Central Asia, but as complex historical processes that shaped economic-cultural types, institutions of statehood, urban traditions, and ethnocultural integration. The article examines migration processes in the context of ecological crises, struggles for water and pasture resources, political pressure, military campaigns, control over trade routes, and interactions between the local population and incoming migrant groups.
