FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO CONFLICTS OF INTEREST IN THE PREVENTION OF CORRUPTION AND EXISTING CHALLENGES.

Abstract

This thesis provides a systematic analysis of the legal nature of the institution of conflict of interest and the political, social, administrative, and ethical factors contributing to its emergence. The author examines the normative legal acts adopted in the Republic of Uzbekistan to regulate and prevent conflicts of interest, the compliance of existing governance systems with the principles of transparency and accountability, as well as international practices and the activities of relevant institutions.

The research treats conflict of interest as an initial stage of corruption and substantiates the significance of mechanisms such as monitoring, declaration, public oversight, and preventive measures in combating it.

The conclusions put forward in this thesis offer relevant scientific and practical recommendations aimed at preventing conflicts of interest and strengthening legality and integrity in the activities of public officials.
