OFFICIAL SOURCES OF PUBLICATION OF THE CRIMINAL LAW AND ISSUES OF THE MOMENT OF ENTRY INTO FORCE

The criminal law, acquiring legal force, is valid for a certain period of time and this period of time has its initial and final moments. In order for the criminal law to work, firstly, the criminal law must be adopted in accordance with the proper order, and secondly, the criminal law must enter into force in due course. According to the author, there are certain aspects of this issue that should be paid attention to, and one of them is related to the official sources of publication of the criminal law. The official sources on which laws are published are the "Bulletin of the Chambers of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan", "Collection of legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan ", newspapers "Khalk suzi", "Narodnoe Slovo", "National Database of legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan". The author considers it expedient, taking into account the development and widespread use of information technologies in modern conditions, to leave only the "national database of legislation" and fix directly in the law itself the rule that when determining the date of entry into force of regulatory legal acts we must proceed from the date of publication in the "national database of legislation".
