The following article provides a scholarly analysis of global changes in the international security environment and their impact on national security systems. It offers a detailed examination of security sector reforms undertaken by international organizations such as the UN, OSCE, EU, NATO, and DCAF, as well as normative documents that ensure civilian oversight and human rights–based models of democratic governance (including the Code of Conduct for Law Enforcement Officials, Guidebook on Democratic Policing, EU Security Union Strategy 2020–2025, NATO Policy on Human Security, and the DCAF Accountability Cycle Model). Furthermore, based on international best practices, the article substantiates strategic directions for developing the administrative activities of the National Guard of Uzbekistan, including the implementation of human security–oriented democratic governance; the establishment of digital monitoring and accountability systems; the promotion of gender equality; the enhancement of public participation; and the strengthening of international cooperation.
The article also offers recommendations for improving personnel capacity within the National Guard system, drawing on the community policing model, DCAF-proposed civilian oversight methods, and NATO educational standards.
