Annotation: This article gives its reader an overview of the legislation on the implementation and protection of privacy rights in Uzbekistan, one of the main countries of Central Asia. When analyzing the reasons for critical opinions expressed by international organizations in Uzbekistan, including non-governmental organizations such as Privacy International, it can be seen that the lower rating given to the protection of privacy is not only related to the legislation of this country. In the country, the rights of privacy, such as the inviolability of the person, the realization of individualizing rights (rights to the image and name), the privacy of housing and privacy are regulated first by the Constitution, and then by the Civil and Criminal Codes. Although the violation of such rights is mainly caused by the ineffectiveness of laws and legal nihilism in practice, problems in legislation are also noticeable. The first of these problems is that the foundations and measures for the protection of privacy rights in the framework of civil law have many shortcomings, and victims of violated rights often try to restore their rights through criminal courts. However, although criminal legal responsibility has inevitable punishment, it does not have the feature of full restoration of violated rights, such as civil rights. The reason is that the function of criminal punishments is not to educate the defendant before the society and restore the rights of the victim.

Keywords: property rights, privacy, right to image, right to name, right to vote.
