Abstract
This article examines the constitutional and international legal foundations of the principle of freedom from compelled self-incrimination and compelled testimony against close relatives, as well as its place within the system of criminal procedural law. The study analyzes the relationship between this principle and the presumption of innocence, the right to a fair trial, human dignity, and the right to defense. Through a comparative analysis of the legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan, international legal instruments, the case law of the European Court of Human Rights, and the criminal procedure legislation of foreign countries, the article substantiates the necessity of recognizing this guarantee as an independent principle of criminal procedure. Based on the findings’, scientifically grounded proposals are developed for introducing a separate provision into the Criminal Procedure Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
