This study explores the critical role of legal interpretation in ensuring the effective application of normative-legal acts within Uzbekistan’s legal framework. It highlights the complexities of legal texts, which often pose challenges for both ordinary citizens and state authorities due to their intricate language and technical shortcomings. Legal interpretation is identified as a vital tool for clarifying the intent and meaning of normative-legal acts, addressing inconsistencies, and resolving ambiguities that arise during their implementation. The study examines the necessity of interpretation in bridging gaps between the form and substance of legal norms, emphasizing its role in aligning legal practice with legislative intent. Drawing on recent constitutional reforms in Uzbekistan, particularly the 2023 Presidential Decree (PF-67), the article underscores the need for accessible and systematic interpretive methods to enhance legal clarity and public understanding. It advocates for improved juridical techniques and interpretive practices to strengthen the rule of law.
