This article analyzes the theoretical foundations, historical development, modern trends, and legislative changes concerning legal relations related to land servitudes in the Republic of Uzbekistan. Special attention is given to the various forms of restricted land use rights (servitudes) for private and public needs, their legal basis, and pressing issues in practice. The article discusses the procedures for establishing servitude rights, grounds for their termination, disputes arising from servitudes, and mechanisms for their resolution. A comparative analysis is also made with the practices of CIS countries, including Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, and the Russian Federation, highlighting both positive and negative aspects. The article outlines Uzbekistan‘s experience in regulating servitude relations, achievements, and shortcomings and offers a critical assessment of mechanisms that have proven ineffective in practice. Finally, the article presents proposals and future directions for improving the servitude institution.
