Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the arbitration system in the Republic of Uzbekistan. It examines the legal foundations established by national legislation and international treaties, specifies the procedural pathways for the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards, and contrasts the arbitration mechanism with state litigation. Furthermore, the analysis highlights the advantages of arbitration, including its efficiency, confidentiality, and finality, while also detailing the specific jurisdictional limitations and the critical role of Uzbek courts in enforcing interim measures and foreign awards. The establishment of the Tashkent International Arbitration Center (TIAC) is also presented as a significant development in the modernization of the country's dispute resolution landscape.
