THE CONCEPT OF PUNISHMENTS RELATED TO FORCED LABOR OF PERSONS WHO HAVE COMMITTED CRIMES

Abstract

In this article, scientific-theoretical views are put forward regarding the concept of punishments related to forced labor of persons who have committed crimes. In this, the content and essence of concepts such as forced labor, criminal punishment, and punishments related to involvement in forced labor are analyzed in detail. In connection with these concepts, attention is paid to the relevant norms recorded in the current legal documents, including the norms of the Constitution, international documents, and other national legal documents. Also, the views of scientists on this issue were analyzed, and specific conclusions and recommendations of the author were developed on each issue. This article concludes that punishment should not only be retributive but should also serve as a means of rehabilitation and prevention, and that criminal punishment should be viewed as a multifaceted approach that includes both punishment and educational elements. It proposes that punishment should strive to correct the offender’s behavior, prevent him from committing further criminal acts, and deter others from committing similar offenses. In addition, the article highlights the legal basis for the application of punishment and notes its status as a state-sanctioned coercive measure. In particular, it is emphasized that punishment in the form of forced labor serves as a means of depriving offenders of certain rights and freedoms, as well as involving them in labor activities.
