This paper examines the principles of administrative procedures under the Law of the Republic of Uzbekistan 'On Administrative Procedures' of January 8, 2018 (No. ZRU-457). Paper looks at Articles 8–19 through a formal legal lens and highlights where the rules fall short, both in how they are designed and how they work in practice. It also compares Uzbekistan’s approach with Kazakhstan’s 2020 Administrative Procedural and Processual Code, focusing on key structural and substantive differences. In the end, the paper offers practical recommendations, particularly on how to better define the limits of administrative discretion.
