PROCEDURAL GUARANTEES OF THE SUSPECT’S RIGHTS DURING DETENTION
Keywords:
detention of suspect, procedural safeguards, right to defense, procedural coercion, presumption of innocence, constitutional rights, legality of detentionAbstract
The article is devoted to a comprehensive study of procedural safeguards for the rights of suspects during detention under the criminal procedure legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The author examines the legal nature of detention as a special type of procedural coercion, characterized by urgency of application, short-term duration, and intensive restriction of the constitutional right to liberty and personal security. The study analyzes the system of procedural safeguards, including constitutional guarantees (presumption of innocence, prohibition of inhuman treatment) and criminal procedural guarantees (legality of detention grounds, compliance with procedural form, strict time limits, right to information, right to defense from the moment of actual detention, procedural formalization). Particular attention is paid to the right to meet with defense counsel in private before conducting any procedural actions, which constitutes a key guarantee for effective protection of the detainee's rights.
