In Uzbekistan, heads of security services under internal affairs bodies and their deputies have been granted the authority to review cases regarding a number of administrative offenses. The new procedure is aimed at maintaining public order, responding promptly to minor violations, and preventing offenses.
Security service officials can now review administrative cases involving the consumption of tobacco products and alcoholic beverages in public places, littering, and disturbing the peace. While such offenses may seem minor, they directly impact urban culture, public safety, and the tranquility of the population.
Cases related to involving minors in antisocial activities are also being included within this scope of authority. This area is particularly important, as protecting youth from unlawful actions and shielding them from negative environments is a serious issue for society.
Security service officials will also have the right to review cases related to petty theft and petty hooliganism. This procedure may serve to take faster action against offenses, simplify case processing, and strengthen discipline in public places.
Furthermore, cases such as the illegal circulation of religious materials, violations of rules for handling weapons, and carrying cold weapons are being included in the security service's authority. This is aimed at further strengthening control over security-related issues.
The new powers may accelerate the process of reviewing administrative cases within the internal affairs system. Resolving issues on-site or in a short period for certain offenses creates convenience for both the public and state bodies.
At the same time, this procedure requires responsible officers to strictly adhere to legal requirements, review each case impartially, and respect citizens' rights. Naturally, with the expansion of administrative authority, responsibility also increases.
In short, the security service under internal affairs bodies has been granted the right to review a number of administrative cases related to noise, waste, petty theft, petty hooliganism, and safety. This may serve to strengthen public order. Now, even violations considered "minor" will not go unnoticed.
