Some legal issues of restrictions on joint service of relatives in the state civil service in the Republic of Uzbekistan

Abstract

In the context of modern socio-economic and political changes, constant improvement of legislation in the sphere of state civil service is an urgent need, since discipline is one of the professional qualities of state civil servants, strict adherence to established service discipline should become one of the main duties of a modern state civil servant. This, in turn, creates the basis for the conscientious performance of official duties, compliance with ethical standards established by the government agency, the procedure for working with official information, as well as other rules related to the passage of the state civil service. The well-known Russian legal scholar D.N. Bakhrakh rightly emphasizes that the principles of staffing for the civil service are aimed at identifying the most competent and conscientious specialists, as well as at forming a productive, creative atmosphere and effective teamwork in government agencies in the interests of society. However, in the past, these principles were often not observed: when selecting personnel, a subjective approach prevailed, cases of protectionism and even corruption were often observed. This article provides a scientific discussion of the restriction of joint service of relatives in the state civil service, taking into account the study of some problematic aspects of this issue. From the scientific-theoretical and comparative-legal points of view, the author analyzed the most important issues that require regulation by the relevant regulatory and legal acts, namely, the positive and negative aspects of joint service of relatives, related aspects and proposals for their improvement.
