This research is devoted to the analysis of the legal nature and implementation peculiarities of the self-defense of rights institutions in the digital space. The paper examines the conceptual foundations of digital rights self-defense established by Articles 11 and 13 of the Civil Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the legal boundaries of permissible actions, and various forms of their implementation in the digital environment. Using methods of legal and comparative analysis, the study investigates problems of determining the proportionality of protective measures, distinguishing between self-defense and arbitrary action, as well as the peculiarities of self-defense for various types of digital rights (personal data, intellectual property objects, digital property rights). Special attention is paid to technological, contractual, and organizational forms of self-defense in the context of the cross-border nature of digital relations. The research results allow the formulation of recommendations for improving legislation and law enforcement practice in the field of digital rights self-defense, as well as determining optimal strategies for the lawful behavior of subjects when protecting their rights in the digital space.
