Constitutional Court of Uzbekistan
From Wikipedia - Reading time: 3 min
The Constitutional Court of the Republic of Uzbekistan (Uzbek: Ўзбекистон Республикаси Конституциявий суди, Russian: Конституционный суд Республики Узбекистан) is the supreme constitutional court of Uzbekistan.[1] Its tasks include reviewing whether proposed laws conflict with the Constitution of Uzbekistan, and whether laws of the Republic of Karakalpakstan conflict with the laws of the Republic of Uzbekistan.[2] Under Article 95 of the Constitution, it is also tasked with authority to approve the President of Uzbekistan's decision to dissolve the Oliy Majlis.[3] The court's decisions are final and unappealable.[4]
The court is made up of seven judges, including the chairman and deputy chairman. One of the judges must be a representative of Karakalpakstan.[4] The Senate of Uzbekistan elects the judges by majority vote, from among candidates recommended by the Supreme Judicial Council and nominated by the president.[5] They are elected to terms of five years.[6] The judges elect the chairman and deputy chairman from among themselves. The chairman of the court since 2014 (re-elected in 2017)[7] has been Mirbabaev Bakhtiyar.
The law establishing the Constitutional Court was adopted on May 6, 1993.[8] A second law was adopted in 1995, and the first judges were elected to the court in December 1995.[8] The current law on the Constitutional Court was adopted by the Supreme Assembly in 2017.[2]
