This article examines the critical conflict between the technological immutability of smart contracts and the legal principle of party autonomy in international commercial law. While Uzbekistan has established a robust framework for choice of law through its Civil Code and the 2021 Law "On International Commercial Arbitration," the automated execution of blockchain based contracts often creates an “immutability paradox” where the chosen law cannot be practically enforced. The research analyzes this gap and proposes improvements to the choice-of-law principles, suggesting that valid international smart contracts must incorporate legal "kill switches" or dispute resolution mechanisms to remain compatible with national public policy and the rule of law.
