CODIFICATION PROCESS IN CENTRAL ASIAN COUNTRIES: SOME THEORETICAL AND LEGAL ISSUES

Abstract

In today’s era, the adoption of many legal documents regulating rapidly developing social relations is observed, as a result of which certain difficulties arise in the process of applying the law. This, in turn, leads to an increase in the need to systematize legislation. Legislation systematization is to some extent an objective process. There are such types as incorporation, consolidation, and codification, among which codification has a special place. The article presents and analyzes the opinions of a number of scientists on the issue of legal systematization. At the same time, in the author’s opinion, theoretical developments about the systematization of legislation and its types, including codification and codes, which are its important form, are not being realized in the national legal literature today. In the article, the author analyzed the process of codification in the legal systems of Central Asian countries and its general and specific aspects with the help of specific examples. The legal system of these countries belongs to the Romano-Germanic family of law, and this process shows many common aspects. This commonality is seen in the process of regulating social relations, including the similarity and closeness of the system of codes aimed at regulating legal relations in the fields. At the end of the article, appropriate conclusions are drawn on the analyzed topic.
