Abstract
The paper examines compensation for damage caused to a person subjected to unlawful or unjustified arrest in criminal proceedings. It analyses the requirements of Article 9(5) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Criminal Procedure Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan and foreign experience (Germany, the Russian Federation). The author argues that unlawful arrest should constitute an independent ground for compensation regardless of the outcome of the criminal case and proposes specific legislative amendments.
