Property Rights in Uzbekistan: A Comprehensive Analysis of the Legal Framework and Its Implications for the Digital Age

Abstract

 This article examines the legal framework for property rights in Uzbekistan, with a focus on the challenges and opportunities presented by the digital age. The study analyzes existing legislation, including the Law on Property in the Republic of Uzbekistan, and relevant presidential decrees such as the "Digital Uzbekistan-2030" Strategy and the "Strategy of New Uzbekistan for 2022-2026". Through a comparative analysis of property rights in Uzbekistan and other jurisdictions, the article highlights the need for a more responsive and comprehensive approach to address the unique aspects of digital property. The main findings of the study reveal that while Uzbekistan's current legal framework for property rights has been effective in addressing traditional forms of property, it may require modifications and updates to accommodate the rapid advancements in technology and the increasing importance of digital assets in the economy. The study also identifies potential conflicts between existing laws and the emerging digital landscape, as well as areas where the legal framework could be improved to better protect and manage property rights in the digital era. The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of adapting property rights legislation and policies to address the challenges and opportunities posed by digital advancements, and suggests potential avenues for future research in the field of property rights and digital transformation in Uzbekistan.
