The penalties specified in Article 81 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan are
a strict list of types of punishment that can be imposed on minors. In this article, the punishment
system is arranged from light to heavy, i.e.:
1) fine;
2) compulsory public works;
3) correctional work;
4) restriction of freedom;
5) deprivation of Liberty.
Penalty is a penalty for minors, in accordance with Article 82 of the Criminal Code, from
twice to twenty times the amount of the base calculation. At the appointment of this punishment, the
court takes into account the fact that a minor has independent income, salary or property. If the
culprit evades payment of the fine within six months of its appointment, the court replaces the
amount of the unpaid fine with correctional work. A fine of twice the amount of the base calculation
is calculated equal to one month of correctional work.

execution of compulsory public works should not exceed two hours a day for six months, unless
otherwise specified in the law, and in the event of non-convict-dependent circumstances, no more
than two hours a day in a fan of up to a year.

subjected to forced labor for a period established by a court verdict and charged a certain amount of
interest in favor of the state from his salary. Correctional work applies only to working persons.
Labor competence is the ability of an individual to work. As a general rule, an individual is
considered to be able to work after reaching the age of sixteen. This type of punishment is
appointed for a period of one month to one year. The term of the sentence includes rest, a holiday,
as well as the days when the convicted person was sick.
Restriction of Liberty (Article 84 CC) is a term of six months to two years as a basic
punishment for juvenile convicts.
