As part of a set of measures to ensure a 'safe and healthy environment,' the IIV leadership conducted a study of the activities of internal bodies in organizing night service, maintaining public order, and preventing offenses and crimes in the city, particularly in the Chilonzor district.
Colonel Diyorbek Sattorov, Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs, familiarized himself with the work of forces and means involved in night service. He studied the procedure for performing service, patrol directions, the work of preventive inspectors, and the level of interaction between various services.
During the inspection, a comprehensive analysis was conducted on issues related to the quality of service organization, ensuring public safety, operational response to citizens' appeals, and strengthening preventive measures in areas with a complex criminogenic situation.
Specific instructions were given to the heads regarding the prevention of offenses that may occur at night, increasing the personal responsibility of employees working in these areas, effective use of modern technical capabilities, and strengthening service discipline.
Upon completion of the inspection, priority tasks were defined aimed at increasing the efficiency of the internal bodies, ensuring public safety, and maintaining public order.
The fight against corruption, ensuring legality and transparency in public services, as well as taking measures against abuse of official authority, has become one of the priority areas of state policy in the country. Consistent and prompt actions by law enforcement agencies in this area contribute not only to crime prevention but also to strengthening public trust in state institutions.
During a recent operational event, law enforcement officers detained an employee of the Investment and Foreign Trade Department of the Zhizkh region. The detention occurred while he was receiving the remaining 900 US dollars out of the required 1000 US dollars for the allocation of a land plot.
According to preliminary information, this amount was demanded in exchange for a promise to assist in allocating land for an elite commercial and industrial object, utilizing connections within the power system.
Checks are currently being conducted regarding this incident. It is emphasized that all such cases will be legally assessed in accordance with established legal procedures.
Such situations once again remind us that official powers are not a source of personal gain, but rather a responsibility to the people. Retail trade and any corrupt crimes not only violate the law but also cause serious damage to the openness of public administration, the principles of justice, and societal development. There is a saying among our people: 'What is obtained dishonestly leads to dishonesty.'
The country's anti-corruption system is constantly being improved. The adopted legal documents are aimed at further strengthening the principles of honesty, openness, and accountability in public service. In particular, the Presidential Decree adopted on April 21, 2025, 'On Measures for the Effective Organization of Priority Tasks for Improving the Anti-Corruption System,' aims to strengthen preventive measures, introduce effective mechanisms to counteract the use of official powers for personal gain, and form an absolutely zero-tolerance environment for corruption.
In a society where the rule of law is guaranteed, no offense will go unpunished. Ensuring the legal assessment of every illegal action and determining the responsibility of the guilty parties is one of the most important factors in increasing the effectiveness of the fight against corruption, creating an atmosphere of honesty in public service, and strengthening public trust.
The statute of limitations is defined as the period established by law for protecting human rights through the court. However, there are certain requirements that are not limited by the statute of limitations, allowing one to appeal to the court at any time.
According to Imomali Tuev, an employee of Tashkent State Law University, the requirements that are not subject to the statute of limitations include the protection of personal property rights and intangible assets. These include honor, dignity, privacy, as well as name and surname.
A citizen's right to demand the return of their own funds from bank deposits or receive compensation from a deposit guarantee agency is not dependent on time. Furthermore, in case of harm to a citizen's health or life, even if the appeal to the court is delayed, compensation will be paid for the last three years.
If material damage is caused as a result of a crime, the person affected by the crime can appeal to the court regardless of how much time has passed. Also, the statute of limitations is not limited for claims to terminate any violations of the rights of an owner or another holder, even if these violations are not related to the deprivation of ownership (according to Article 231 of this Code). The statute of limitations also does not apply to the return of objects of historical and cultural heritage, as well as to the return of national wealth exported from the country before gaining independence, such as artifacts, works of art, and ancient items.
The author emphasizes that the passage of time does not mean the loss of rights. If the issue falls into the categories mentioned above, it should be considered that the possibility of protecting one's rights remains, despite the expiration of the statute of limitations. The basis for these provisions is Article 163 of the Civil Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
When discussing book-loving, one often envisions magnificent libraries, young people reading, and book festivals. Undoubtedly, these are the most beautiful and noticeable aspects of this process.
However, in today's global world, the book has ceased to be merely a spiritual value; it has transformed into a strategic resource that shapes human capital. This is why the publishing sector, which is the most important and fundamental part of the learning chain, requires a completely new perspective today.
Since any outstanding work cannot reach the reader on its own, complex and laborious stages follow, such as professional translation, meticulous editing, modern design, and quality printing. It is important that in Uzbekistan, the development of book-loving is aimed not only at propaganda but also at forming an entire ecosystem for creating books.
For a long time, the book market was understood primarily as fiction. However, times have changed, and the worldview and demands of readers have reached a completely new level. Today, youth, entrepreneurs, and specialists do not want to limit themselves only to fictional works. They need real, practical sources of knowledge in science, technology, economics, strategic management, and business.
The emergence of specialized private publishers to meet this social need is pleasing. A bright example is the project of the 'Gutenberg' publishing house, presented at the exhibition on Youth Day organized for June 30th, and which was presented to President Shavkat Mirziyoyev.
A publishing house should not just be a print shop, but a platform of knowledge that solves certain societal problems. As young entrepreneur Ravshan Burkhonov emphasizes, the 'Gutenberg' publishing house was created precisely on this philosophy:
'Before starting our activities, we conducted serious research on the issue: 'Where should we start?' Our observations showed that most local business entities opened between 2002 and 2022 had ceased operations. By studying the root causes, we found that our entrepreneurs primarily lacked sufficient qualifications and skills in running a business and defining strategy. There was almost no professional literature in the market to enhance their knowledge and potential. We accurately identified this gap. Our goal was to present the best practices of leading global business schools and universities in the Uzbek language, and today we specialize only in translating business and popular science works,' says the head of the publishing house.
According to the head of the publishing house, Ravshan Burkhonov, they have currently established official partnerships with authoritative educational institutions worldwide, such as Stanford, Oxford, and Cambridge. This partnership is evident not only on paper but also in real results.
Iles Tribulaev's book 'Entrepreneurial Thinking' sold 10,000 copies within a month. Furthermore, the HBR (Harvard Business Review) collection, published in collaboration with Harvard Business School, quickly reached nearly 9,000 readers.
These figures are not just indicators of successful sales. They demonstrate the growing need of the modern reader for reliable sources of knowledge concerning modern management, entrepreneurship, and business. This indicates that interest in high-quality, popular science, and professional literature in the country is reaching a new level.
A significant impetus for such active development of private initiatives in the field is the creation of systemic conditions by the state. In particular, the President's decision from January 15 of this year 'On measures to develop the culture of book-loving and increase public interest in reading' opened a new chapter in the industry's development.
The Fund for the Development of Book-Loving Culture, established based on this document, was able to become a remedy for the most acute problems of publishers. A system of partial coverage of costs for copyright fees, as well as the labor of translators and editors, was introduced. This allows publishers to translate the most famous world works into the Uzbek language without fear of financial risk.
Modern publishers are radically changing their model. They are no longer just technical enterprises accepting orders and printing finished texts. Today, publishers are becoming professional platforms that solve specific intellectual challenges of society.
The example of the 'Gutenberg' publishing house shows that research conducted before the project began indicated that many local business entities face crises due to a lack of modern knowledge and management skills. Thus, localizing the experience of leading business schools is not just about publishing books, but a direct investment in the domestic economy and the country's human capital.
Today, the attitude towards books in Uzbekistan has fundamentally changed. A book is no longer just a way to spend free time meaningfully or a means of spiritual perfection. It has become a vital strategic resource for economic progress, training competitive personnel, and building an innovatively thinking society.
A society that invests in knowledge is investing the most reliable resources in its future. The essence of today's reforms aimed at supporting book-loving and publishing is based precisely on this life philosophy.
