Summary/Abstract: The article presents selected issues related to the Second Chamber of the Uzbek parliament - the Senate. The Authors describe the origins of the Second Chamber, the manner of its choice and the legal status of a member of the Senate. Issues related to the competences, the internal organization and the work of the Chamber are also discussed in detail. The Authors also point out that the bicameral structure of the parliament adopted in Uzbekistan is not a typical solution in the post-Soviet countries of the Common wealth of Independent States. At the same time, it should be stressed that the model of bicameralism adopted in Uzbekistan is well thought out. It has no signs of randomness. The second chamber of the parliament has assigned a specific political role. From the point of view of the legislative construction the Uzbek solutions can serve as a model.
