UWED Scholars Examine the Legal Architecture of a Reforming State

In October 2026, faculty members of the International Law Faculty at UWED, including the Dean, published five notable studies examining the rebuilding of Uzbekistan’s legal institutions.

Murataev Serikbek Alpamysovich, Dean of the International Law Faculty, PhD in Law and Associate Professor, published an article titled “Significance and Essence of Legal Regulation of Higher Education Management Assessment,” in which he analyzed higher education governance and proposed a system of legally grounded efficiency indicators.

Umirzoqov Shohrukh, a Lecturer from the Department of Civil Law and Private International Law Disciplines, released a study on “The Public Policy Exception in the Enforcement of Foreign Court and Arbitral Awards: An Analysis of Uzbekistan's Experience,” highlighting how statutory inconsistencies impact the investment climate.

Dilshod Soliyev, Senior Lecturer in the Department of International Law and Public Law Disciplines, contributed an article titled “Institutional Formation of the Administrative Court System in the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Stages of Its Legal Development,” tracing the five-stage evolution of the administrative court system from 1991 to 2020.

Mukhlisa Ibragimova, PhD, Lecturer in the Department of International Law and Public Law Disciplines, and an advocate at “JUST JUSTICE” and mediator, examined “Inter-Branch Legal Nature of the State Civil Service and Problems of Codification,” proposing a model of “reforming institutional codification.”

Finally, Professor Nugman Nugmanov, Doctor of Law, and Venera Sayfullaeva, Doctoral Student and Lecturer, both of the Department of International Law and Public Law Disciplines, analyzed “The Treaty-Based Legal Framework for the International Regulation of Artificial Intelligence,” proposing that an international standard incorporating information security norms should now be adopted.

All together, these comparative studies reveal a legal system in transition - converging toward international standards while facing implementation gaps. We warmly congratulate our faculty on these publications and wish them continued success!
