The aim of this study is to assess the administrative prejudice mechanism established in Article 148² of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan against the criteria of international labor standards and the legislation of foreign countries, and to develop substantiated proposals for its improvement. The study employs comparative legal, formal legal, systemic-structural, and statistical methods of analysis. The empirical basis comprises reporting data from the Ministry of Employment and Poverty Reduction for 2021–2025, international monitoring documents, and the criminal and labor legislation of 103 states that have ratified conventions against forced labor. The findings show that 54 states (52.4%) provide for a separate criminal offense of forced labor, distinct from human trafficking, while in 49 states (47.6%) the conduct is prosecuted under provisions on human trafficking or slavery. In none of the jurisdictions examined, however, is criminal liability conditional upon the prior imposition of an administrative penalty. Three independent international monitoring sources confirm that the provision is not applied in practice. The author proposes defining the offense on the basis of the substance of the conduct itself—namely, the subjugation of a person’s will—and establishing the large-scale nature of the conduct as a qualifying (aggravating) circumstance.
