Mamurov Sanjarbek Ilkhomovich , Assistant Prosecutor of Namangan Region, Junior Justice Advisor, UzbekistanAbstract
This article analyzes the theoretical and practical aspects of imposing non-custodial punishments in the criminal legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan, focusing on their legal nature, forms, scope of application, and challenges in enforcement. The shift from traditional custodial sanctions toward more humane and rehabilitative alternatives is reviewed in light of legislative reforms, court practices, and international human rights standards. Particular attention is given to fines, correctional labor, community service, deprivation of rights, and restriction of liberty. The study emphasizes the need to further refine the legal framework to ensure clarity, consistency, and effective implementation of such penalties. Drawing upon comparative legal analysis, including the experience of Armenia and Ukraine, the author proposes concrete legislative recommendations aimed at enhancing the legal regulation and execution of non-custodial sentences in Uzbekistan. The article concludes that strengthening the institutional and procedural aspects of these penalties can contribute to the overall liberalization and humanization of the penal system.
