GDPR vs. Weakly Protected Parties in Other Countries

Gayrat Eshbaev — Mon, 30 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0300

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) establishes strong privacy rights for EU residents. However, many countries, including the United States, Asia, and Africa, lack similar protections. This creates challenges for multinational corporations and individuals navigating fragmented global data protection frameworks. This study examines the evolution, principles, and extraterritorial effects of GDPR, comparing it with weaker regulatory frameworks globally. Using qualitative and doctrinal research and document analysis, it identifies enforcement gaps, compliance costs, and operational difficulties in cross-border data transfers. Findings emphasize the need for consistent global standards to address the digital divide and ensure fair data practices. Recommendations highlight multilateral cooperation to develop an interoperable and ethical digital ecosystem. While GDPR offers a foundational model, achieving global harmonization requires collective international commitment. The study concludes with actionable suggestions to strengthen global privacy frameworks and protect vulnerable parties in weakly regulated regions.

Digital Financial Assets as an Object of Civil Rights

Temurbek Pulatov — Mon, 30 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0300

This article explores the legal nature of digital financial assets (DFAs) within civil rights. DFAs, including cryptocurrencies and tokens, challenge traditional legal concepts due to their decentralized and intangible nature. The study addresses key legal issues such as ownership rights, enforceability of obligations, and jurisdictional conflicts in cross-border transactions. A comparative analysis of regulatory frameworks in the European Union, the United States, Russia, and Uzbekistan reveals the lack of uniformity in DFA treatment. Special focus is given to Uzbekistan’s progressive approach under the Digital Uzbekistan 2030 initiative. The research adopts a qualitative, doctrinal, and document analysis methodology, supported by case studies and legal analysis. The findings identify significant regulatory gaps, particularly regarding DFA integration into traditional legal systems. The study suggests the need for comprehensive reforms to harmonize DFA regulations and ensure legal clarity. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of aligning legal frameworks with emerging digital financial trends.
