A newly revised law concerning the Constitutional Court of Uzbekistan has officially entered into force, introducing significant updates to the nation's judicial framework. The legislation aims to clarify the court's core authorities, procedural rules, and the criteria required for evaluating regulatory legal acts against the country's constitution.

A notable provision within the updated legal framework allows ordinary citizens and corporate entities to challenge the constitutionality of a law that has been applied in their finalized court cases. However, access to this constitutional review mechanism is strictly conditional, requiring plaintiffs to first exhaust all standard judicial remedies available under existing laws.

The document also outlines the structural composition and tenure of the court's members. The Constitutional Court consists of nine judges, including a chairman and a deputy, each elected individually for a fixed ten-year term without the right to reelection. Candidates must be citizens of Uzbekistan, possess recognized legal qualifications, be at least 35 years of age, and are subject to a mandatory retirement age of 70.

Furthermore, decisions rendered by the Constitutional Court carry binding legal force across the entire territory of the nation, applying universally to all state institutions, organizations, officials, and private individuals. While the majority of the law's provisions became effective immediately, specific articles are slated to take effect in January 2028.
