LEGAL ANALYSIS OF THE INSTITUTE OF TEMPORARY RESTRICTION OF CITIZENS’ RIGHT TO EXIT THE REPUBLIC OF UZBEKISTAN FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL LAW

Abstract

This article examines the legal foundations of the institution of temporarily restricting the right of citizens of the Republic of Uzbekistan to leave the country and its compliance with international legal norms, as well as the issue of balancing constitutionally guaranteed rights to freedom of movement and the right to leave the country with the legal grounds for their limitation. In addition, the practice of applying this institution is compared with the requirements of international legal instruments, in particular the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The study assesses the degree to which the principles of necessity, proportionality, and the rule of law are ensured when restricting citizens’ right to exit, and proposes recommendations for aligning Uzbekistan’s legislation with international standards.
