This article examines the statutory and doctrinal foundations of criminal liability for environmental offences through an analysis of Chapter XIV of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan, interpretative guidance issued by the Plenum of the Supreme Court, and contemporary international scholarship. The central argument is that making criminal liability for environmental offences dependent solely on material consequences that have already occurred or on the monetary value of individual natural resources fails to adequately account for ecosystem integrity, long-term environmental harm, and risks whose consequences are difficult to remedy. The study addresses the legal certainty of blanket provisions, the evidentiary challenges associated with establishing environmental consequences and causation, the distinction between environmental crimes and administrative offences, the determination of culpability on the part of public officials, the proportionality of criminal penalties, and the relationship between criminal sanctions and environmental restoration measures. Approaches developed within international green criminology and reflected in European Union Directive 2024/1203 are examined as potential legal alternatives rather than models to be mechanically transplanted into national legislation. The author advances proposals for a graduated approach to the assessment of environmental risks under criminal law, aligning the use of expert knowledge with applicable standards of proof, treating environmental restoration measures as a distinct consideration independent of criminal punishment, and developing harmonised interpretative guidance for judicial practice.
