Law “On the state border of the Republic of Uzbekistan” approved

Senators stressed that modern threats to international and regional security present new requirements for further increasing the effectiveness of protecting the state border of the republic.

The presence of a number of legal shortcomings in the current law creates various problems. In particular, since the basic concepts related to the state border are not given, in the process of activity they are interpreted differently by citizens, ministries and departments. In turn, this causes a number of problems and misunderstandings in ensuring the security of the state border, its equipment, and the fulfillment by ministries and departments of the tasks defined within their powers.

Also, the lack of classification of certain categories of offenses committed at the state border (regime of the state border, border regime, violators of the regime at checkpoints) creates a number of difficulties in taking legal measures against them.

In addition, people living in the border areas and border areas face various difficulties due to the fact that in the border areas there are no clear rules for dekhkan farming or livestock breeding.

This law considers the basic concepts in the field of establishing, changing, protecting and protecting the state border, the procedure for crossing the state border by land, border rivers, lakes, airspace and other places by persons and vehicles, as well as clearly defines and discloses in detail the regime of the state border and checkpoints, requirements of the regime, the concept of their violation.

Implementation of the establishment and change of the state border by the Oliy Majlis chambers in accordance with international treaties is determined.

It is indicated that consideration of issues of delimitation, demarcation and redemarcation of the state border is carried out by an intergovernmental commission consisting of representatives of Uzbekistan and neighboring states.

In addition, the law establishes the procedure for entry (exit), travel, stay (residence), movement of citizens of Uzbekistan, foreign citizens and stateless persons and vehicles in the border zone and checkpoints, and also defines in detail the rules related to the implementation of economic and other activities, in particular, with the conduct of dekhkan farming or livestock breeding at the state border, in the border area and at checkpoints.

The document introduces the conditions and procedure for the use of weapons, military equipment, special means, physical force and service animals in the protection of the state border. The norms of social and legal protection of military personnel participating in the protection and protection of the state border are established.

The law was approved by senators.
