CONCEPT OF MEDIATION IN BRIBERY AND THE PECULIARITIES OF ESTABLISHING CRIMINAL LIABILITY FOR IT
Keywords:
bribery, corruption, mediation in bribery, reaching an agreement on receiving or giving a bribe, proper functioning of state bodies, management bodies, and public associations.Abstract
In this article, the author examines the concept of mediation in bribery and the peculiarities of
establishing criminal liability for it. The author notes that in any country, the issue of combating
corruption occupies a special place and is elevated to the level of state policy. Corruption is of a
socially dangerous nature, as it generates distrust between the state and its citizens. In turn, the fight
against corruption is a multifaceted and complex process that encompasses not only the activities of
law enforcement agencies but also the participation of the entire society. Until the current stage of
reforms, the legislative acts did not contain a definition of the term "corruption." However, from the
perspective of criminal law, by its nature, bribery-related offenses were considered as corruptionrelated crimes. Moreover, to improve the criminal legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan, it is
proposed to establish the age of the subject of responsibility for acts provided for in Article 214
(Unlawful receipt of material values or property benefits by an official of state bodies, organizations
with state participation, or self-governing bodies) and Article 2141
(Unlawful receipt of material
values or property benefits by participants and organizers of sports competitions) as 18 years old, as
stated in Article 17 of the General Part of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
Additionally, it is proposed to amend the disposition of the first part of Article 212 of the Criminal
Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan by supplementing it with the phrase "or other activities aimed at
reaching an agreement on the transfer of a bribe" after the words "direct transfer of a bribe by order
of the interested party."
