This article examines the historical and legal foundations of the formation and development of military courts in the Republic of Uzbekistan during the first years of independence. Special attention is paid to the transformation of the Soviet military tribunal system into a national military justice system based on the principles of state sovereignty, legality, and judicial independence. The study analyzes the Law “On the Fundamentals of State Independence of the Republic of Uzbekistan,” presidential decrees, resolutions of the Supreme Council, and other normative legal acts that laid the foundation for military courts. The article highlights the establishment of the Ministry of Defense, the creation of the Military Court of the Armed Forces, the Military Board of the Supreme Court, and the subsequent formation of the Military Court of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The stages of institutional reform, the determination of jurisdiction, organizational structure, and powers of military courts are examined. The research concludes that the formation of military courts became an important component of state-building and strengthening the rule of law in the Armed Forces of independent Uzbekistan. The legal reforms implemented between 1991 and 2000 created a modern military justice system capable of protecting national interests, ensuring military discipline, and safeguarding the rights and legitimate interests of servicemen.
