SOME ASPECTS OF THE PRINCIPLE OF PROHIBITION OF DISCRIMINATION IN THE FIELD OF WORK AND TRAINING

Abstract

The new Labor Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan enshrines the basic principles of legal regulation of individual labor relations and related other public relations. In particular, the new ideas are reflected in the principle of equality of labor rights, prohibition of discrimination in the field of work and occupation. The article analyzes the content of this principle, legislative acts aimed at preventing discrimination, as well as international standards in this area. The concepts of direct and indirect discrimination, their features, as well as the terms “business qualities” and “work results” of employees are considered. In addition, the categories of direct and indirect discrimination, as well as discrimination at the national level, have been studied as levels of discrimination. The specific aspects of the legislation of foreign countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Russian Federation, Belarus, and Ukraine) close to the legal system of Uzbekistan are described. The procedure for employees to apply to the court for discrimination disputes is analyzed, as well as documents of judicial practice are considered. The article also describes issues of liability for discrimination in the field of labor. Along with this, proposals and recommendations have been developed to address existing problems.
