Anti-Corruption Civil Law Remedies Under the Legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan and Issues of Their Improvement in the Context of Digital Reality

Digital transformation of public relations creates new risks of corrupt behaviour while simultaneously forming tools for its detection and prevention. Civil‑law mechanisms for countering corruption require rethinking: current legislation and practice of the Republic of Uzbekistan do not fully take into account new digital forms of committing, concealing and legally qualifying corruption offences, and there is no clear legal regime for means such as artificial intelligence and blockchain. The aim of the study is to identify gaps in Uzbekistan’s civil law regarding anti‑corruption protection and to propose practice‑oriented legislative and institutional measures. Tasks: to analyse national legislation and international experience; to classify corruption‑prone norms; to formulate legal and technological tools for improvement; to propose models of digital platforms and monitoring mechanisms. Comparative‑legal and doctrinal analysis, legal expertise, systemic and interdisciplinary approaches were used; empirical data and judicial practice were examined; examples of implementation of AI, DLT/blockchain and digital portals as preventive anti‑corruption tools were considered. Key legislative gaps were identified: uncertainty of liability of legal entities; insufficiency of mechanisms for transferring illicit gains and property to state revenue; absence of legal status for AI and digital platforms in civil turnover; weak regulatory framework for monitoring digital risks. Proposed measures include amendments to the Uzbekistan Civil Code and related laws; implementation of anti‑corruption expertise of draft legal acts; creation of digital complaint and monitoring portals; development of software tools using AI and blockchain technologies. Implementing these recommendations will strengthen the preventive potential of civil‑law remedies, increase transparency and enhance public trust.
