Abstract:
The role of non-profit organizations in the context of reforms in our country is important today. The
main focus of this goal is to improve the activities of NGOs from a legal point of view, as well as providing ideas,
suggestions and recommendations for filling legal gaps in the current Civil Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan and
a number of other relevant legislative acts.

Introduction:
In recent times, as a result of the
profound reforms implemented in our country,
significant measures have been taken to enhance the
role, importance and social activity of non-
governmental non-profit organizations and other civil-
society institutions alongside every sphere of society
and state life. More than two hundred normative legal
acts aimed at improving NGO effectiveness have been
adopted, thereby creating the necessary institutional
base for their activities.
Moreover, Presidential Decree No. PF-5430 of 4 May
2018, “On Measures to Radically Increase the Role of
Civil-Society Institutions in the Process of Democratic
Renewal of the Country,” marked a very significant step
in developing this area in our country.
What is a non-governmental non-profit organization?
A non-governmental non-profit organization is a self-
governing div voluntarily established by natural
and/or legal persons that does not set profit-making as
the main objective of its activity and does not distribute
income received among its participants. Such an
organization is created to protect the rights and
legitimate interests of natural and legal persons and
other democratic values, to achieve social, cultural and
educational objectives, to satisfy moral and other
intangible needs, to conduct charitable activities and to
pursue other socially useful purposes.
Today, almost nine and a half thousand non-
governmental non-profit organizations operate in our
country, playing an important role in protecting the
rights and legitimate interests of natural and legal
persons, democratic values, and in achieving social,
cultural and educational goals.
By Resolution No. 635 of 8 August 2018 of the Cabinet
of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the
Regulation on the Procedure for Monitoring and
Studying the Activities of Non-Governmental Non-
Profit Organizations by Justice Bodies was approved.
Adoption of this Regulation created numerous
conveniences not only for justice bodies but also for the
NGOs whose activities are monitored and studied.
This Regulation comprises eight chapters and thirty-
nine paragraphs. Based on it, definitions are also
provided for concepts such as justice bodies, other
measures of influence, state control, monitoring,
planned study, unplanned study, submission, proposal
and warning.
Below are brief definitions of the above concepts:
- monitoring
–
the systematic process of collecting,
studying and analysing information regarding NGO
compliance with legal acts, charter activities and
founding documents, as well as the targeted use of
funds allocated to them;
-
planned study
–
a study carried out according

to a work schedule approved by order of the head of
the justice div. Inclusion of an NGO in the schedule is
based on three years having elapsed since its state
registration or the last study;
-
unplanned study
–
a study not included in the
schedule, conducted by the justice div in the manner
and cases prescribed by law;
-
submission
–
a document submitted by the
justice div to the authority or official empowered to
eliminate a legal violation, concerning the causes of the
violation and the conditions enabling it.
Justice bodies also study NGO compliance with laws,
charter activities and founding documents, as well as
the targeted use of funds allocated to them.
The following constitute grounds for conducting
studies:
-
orders of the chambers of the Oliy Majlis, the
Presidential Administration or the Cabinet of Ministers
of the Republic of Uzbekistan, or an order of the
Minister of Justice issued to ensure their execution;
-
work schedules of justice bodies;
-
analysis of monitoring conducted by justice
bodies and information (reports) obtained from other
NGOs;
-
events held by NGOs in violation of legally
established procedures;
-
appeals by natural and legal persons seeking
restoration of their violated rights or legitimate
interests;
-
reports by mass media and information posted
on the Internet;
-
an unplanned study is conducted regarding the
specific facts that served as its basis.
Studies are organized in accordance with an order of
the relevant head of the justice div, which must
specify the purpose and tasks of the study, the NGO to
be studied, the period covered, the time limits, the
composition of the working group, the persons
summarizing and analysing documents, and issues for
discussing results.
The order on the study is issued at least ten days before
commencement; on the same day the NGO head is
notified in writing. The notification sets out the
grounds, the NGOs to be studied, their field, the period
and time limits, and the working-group composition; a
study questionnaire is attached. If necessary, additional
issues may be added by the Minister of Justice on a
reasoned proposal from the working group.
The study duration may not exceed thirty days. Upon a
reasoned submission by the head of the working group,
this period may be extended by order of the justice-
div head for no more than thirty additional days.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, until now no normative legal act
governed the inspection of NGO activities. Adoption of
this Regulation has greatly facilitated study of NGO
activity, serving as a solid foundation for NGOs to
understand their rights more deeply and to develop
further.
