PRINCIPLES OF CRIMINAL LAW AND THEIR IMPLEMENTATION IN PRACTICE

Abstract

The article discusses the principles of criminal law and their implementation in practice. The article examines three factors that have influenced the evolution of the criminal justice system: the growing need for liberalization of penalties, increasing respect for human rights, and awareness of the value of sharing international experience. In addition, theoretical approaches to the study of the fundamentals of the formation of rules and principles for the criminalization of acts and the establishment of criminal liability are considered. The article also analyzes theoretical approaches to the essence and nature of the principles of criminal law, including theological teaching, legal positivism, and natural law teaching. The influence of these teachings on the formation of models of criminal responsibility is discussed, and the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to overcoming problems arising in the implementation of legislative acts is emphasized. Based on a scientific and practical approach, doctrinal views, ideas, and approaches to the nature and essence of the principles of criminal law, their historical origin, as well as the influence of the achievements and values of international law and human rights on the formation of a system of criminal law principles are analyzed. Based on existing constitutional provisions, conclusions and judgments about the constitutional foundations of the principles of criminal law are presented.
