words, corruption seriously threatens the foundations
of national statehood, political and economic stability
of any country, weakens citizens’ confidence in social
justice, the rule of law and state bodies. Therefore,
fighting against corruption and continuing this activity
on a permanent basis remains one of the important
directions of the reforms implemented in our country,
particularly judicial reforms.
It should be noted that today, the decline of the future
of the state and society - the fight against corruption is
one of the urgent problems in our republic as well as in
the international level. It is defined as “illegal use of
one’s position or ser
vice by a person for the purpose
of obtaining material or immaterial benefits for
personal interests or the interests of other persons, as
well as illegal presentation of such benefits”.
In his address to the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of
Uzbekistan, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev stated that
“...the evil of corruption in our society in its various
forms is an obstacle to our progress”, unless all
sections of the population and the best experts are
involved in the fight against corruption, all members of
o
ur society, so to speak, will lose “honesty vaccine”,
we will not be able to achieve the high goals we have
set for ourselves. We need to move from fighting the
consequences of corruption to its early prevention”.
The word corruption is derived from the Latin word
“corruption”
which
means
“buy”,
“bribe”.
“Corruption is the abuse of state power for personal
gain” in the United Nations Convention against
Corruption.
According to B.I. Ismailov, corruption is a crime related
to the use of official position for personal purposes.
Corruption, in most cases, means taking bribes from
citizens and obtaining illegal monetary income by state
officials for the sake of their personal interests and
wealth. Therefore, fighting against corruption and
continuing this activity on a permanent basis remains
one of the important directions of the reforms
implemented in our country, particularly judicial
reforms.
It should be noted that today, the decline of the future
of the state and society - the fight against corruption is
one of the urgent problems in our republic as well as at
the international level. It is defined as “illegal use of
one's position or service position by a person for the
purpose of obtaining material or immaterial benefits
for personal interests or the interests of other persons,
as well as illegal presentation of such benefits”.
Important organizational and legal reforms in the field
of fighting corruption have been implemented in our
country in the last five years. Systematic measures
aimed at increasing the legal consciousness and legal
culture of the population, forming an intolerant
attitude towards corruption in the society were taken.
In particular, the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan
“About Combating Corruption” (2017), the President
of
the Republic of Uzbekistan’s “Strategy of Actions
for Further Development of the Republic of
Uzbekistan” (2017), “About Additional Measures to
Improve the System of Combating Corruption in the
Republic of Uzbekistan” (2020) and “About measures
to create an environment of intolerant attitude against
corruption, drastically reduce corruption factors in
state and community management and expand public
participation” (2021) and “Development strategy of
New Uzbekistan for 2022-
2026” (2022) Decrees and the
establishment of committees on combating corruption
and legal issues in the chambers of the Oliy Majlis.
Today, in our country, the prevention of various
forms of corruption and the fight against it have risen

to the level of state policy, and it is one of the priority
tasks of state bodies. In particular, on July 7, 2008, with
the adoption of the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan
“About the Accession of the Republic of Uzbekistan to
the United Nations Convention Against Corruption
(New York, October 31, 2003
)” (DRUz
-158) prevention
of this offense, against it our country had accepted
international obligations regarding the struggle.
Also, the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan “About
Combating Legalization of Criminal Proceeds,
Financing of Terrorism and Financing of Proliferation of
Weapons of Mass Destruction” was adopted. About 20
articles of the Criminal Code of the Republic of
Uzbekistan stipulate responsibility for criminal acts
related to corruption.
In particular, today, not only on a global scale, but also
in our country, solving strategic tasks related to further
growth of the economy, increasing people's well-
being, improving the investment in the country,
ensuring the effective implementation of state policy
in the field of combating corruption, and identifying
the causes and conditions of various forms of
corruption requires new systemic measures to be
taken for elimination.
It should be noted that the level of legal awareness and
legal culture of citizens plays an important role in
preventing crimes related to corruption. Because by
increasing legal awareness and legal culture in the
society, it is possible to improve the system of legal
education and upbringing, to achieve respect for the
law and rights of all state bodies, officials and citizens,
and to increase the social activity of citizens. This, in
turn, forms the basis of the fight against corruption.
The experience of the countries of the world shows
that if the cases of corruption among its bodies and
officials increase and develop in a certain country, if
drastic measures are not taken in time against this
situation, no matter how powerful this country is, no
matter how much underground and surface resources
it has, the result will be not only economic , but it is
natural that it will end with a political crisis.
It should be noted that crimes related to corruption
hinder social justice among citizens in our society
today, weaken public trust in state bodies, have a
negative impact on the economic growth of the state,
and also lead to a violation of the moral environment in
society.
In our opinion, it is appropriate for the following
practical measures to be taken by the bodies and
organizations that carry out and participate in this
activity in order to prevent and fight corruption-related
issues:
-
a comprehensive study of the state affairs in this
direction and a systematic and deep analysis of the
causes of corruption;
-
to develop measures to determine the causes and
conditions of corruption-related issues and to
ensure the prevention of these types of issues;
-
regularly take measures to prevent and eliminate
conflicts of interest;
-
preparation of proposals for improvement of the
practice of legislation and law enforcement in the
field of fight against corruption by bodies and
organizations implementing and participating in
the activity, having studied the experience of
advanced foreign countries;
-
to increase the transparency of the activities of
state bodies and organizations and to introduce a
new mechanism for the selection of personnel
based on transparent elections, and to implement
measures that will form an active worldview and a

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, we can say that the complete, consistent
and effective implementation of state policy in the
organization of prevention of corruption-related
offenses will increase citizens' trust in state bodies,
clear, timely and impartial resolution of issues within
the jurisdiction of state bodies, ultimately, the peace of
our country and it serves to increase and ensure peace,
happiness and well-being of our people, as well as
