Modernizing Parliamentary Oversight Mechanisms In The Legislative Chamber Of The Oliy Majlis Of The Republic Of Uzbekistan: Constitutional Reforms And Institutional Imperatives
Abstract
The institutionalization of an effective check-and-balance system remains a crucial indicator of progressive democratic development in the modern global political architecture. This article comprehensively explores the theoretical, legal, and operational frameworks required to modernize the parliamentary oversight mechanisms within the Legislative Chamber of the Oliy Majlis (parliament) of Uzbekistan. Drawing on recent constitutional revisions and the implementation of a mixed (majoritarian-proportional) electoral system, the study examines the transition of parliamentary control from a declarative, bureaucratic formality into an imperative political mechanism. The research addresses structural vulnerabilities within current legislative practices, most notably the challenge of information asymmetry between lawmakers and executive agencies, as well as the traditionally non-binding, advisory nature of oversight resolutions. By evaluating regional administrative dynamics alongside global legislative models, the author proposes innovative structural upgrades, including the codification of political faction hearings, opposition-led alternative rapporteur platforms, and proactive fiscal "automatic-stop" triggers. The findings suggest that integrating community-level civic engagement with robust parliamentary oversight is vital to ensuring executive accountability and upholding the social contract in the paradigm of New Uzbekistan.
