00:00:03
feeling or a scientific problem, a
00:00:07
certain hypothesis that
00:00:11
requires development, but Alexander
00:00:16
Vitalievich finally convinced me
00:00:18
that
00:00:20
this idea is already hanging in the air
00:00:24
and sooner or later we will touch on it and
00:00:28
we are now, as it were, approaching it. I
00:00:32
may be very ambitious, and I
00:00:35
’ll title the topic of my speech, but uh,
00:00:39
the theses that I’ll deliver will probably
00:00:42
show that it’s
00:00:43
not so global, but may very well
00:00:48
be non-standard. I’m trying to
00:00:51
look at
00:00:53
criminal procedural law
00:00:55
and modern problems of legal understanding,
00:01:00
and
00:01:02
at first glance this might be not very
00:01:05
connected with the first two speeches, but
00:01:08
for me both speeches are about
00:01:11
this,
00:01:13
and when Timur Viktorovich puts
00:01:17
these problems of
00:01:19
interaction between constitutional
00:01:21
proceedings and criminal
00:01:23
proceedings on a par, and in his application he says
00:01:27
that he
00:01:32
takes the problems of the judicial as a kind of unifying basis rights,
00:01:36
then everyone who has repeatedly addressed the
00:01:40
topic of judicial law, every time they talked
00:01:42
about the law,
00:01:44
every time attempts were made
00:01:48
to discuss Is there such a kind of
00:01:52
integrated independent branch? Is it
00:01:54
possible to combine what now
00:01:57
seems incompatible: the
00:02:00
criminal process and the civil process,
00:02:02
especially now the criminal process
00:02:04
Arbitration, criminal, constitutional in
00:02:07
a certain way, and also questions of judicial system in a
00:02:10
certain
00:02:11
judicial law, which
00:02:14
can
00:02:16
hypothetically serve as the basis for
00:02:19
researching this interaction and
00:02:22
points of contact,
00:02:23
it seems to me that, probably, if so
00:02:29
far,
00:02:30
despite the attempts of very serious
00:02:34
researchers, to address this
00:02:36
issue and express such a hypothesis
00:02:39
proposal for this right as a certain
00:02:43
industry has been formed here, then obviously there
00:02:47
are objective reasons for this and it
00:02:50
seems to me that we, of course,
00:02:51
theoretically can talk about this
00:02:54
topic, but this is the direction of reasoning.
00:02:58
Well, for now it seems to me like a dead end and they will
00:03:02
not actually provide the basis that is
00:03:06
really needed for this kind of
00:03:09
comparative
00:03:11
research, and I see it in this
00:03:16
direction, rather the
00:03:18
basis for such a formulation of the question
00:03:21
can be the theory of the judiciary;
00:03:26
today it does not exist yet;
00:03:29
today there are studies by
00:03:32
some authors who seem to be
00:03:35
groping for approaches to the theory; this and
00:03:39
theorists in including Professor Marchenko,
00:03:42
who has very interesting and deep
00:03:45
works on this topic; these are
00:03:48
the proceduralists themselves
00:03:49
who are trying to understand the essence of the
00:03:53
judicial power, the properties of the mechanism, and so
00:03:56
on, and it seems to me that just
00:03:59
theoretical approaches, the very understanding of the
00:04:02
judicial power, would serve as a more
00:04:06
reliable basis. although with those
00:04:10
reservations, not all questions of the theory of
00:04:12
the judiciary are already clear and
00:04:16
researched today, and moreover, from the point of view of the
00:04:19
theory as a certain field of
00:04:23
science today, yes Not yet,
00:04:27
so when we talk about law,
00:04:33
it is still a sphere of regulation This is, after
00:04:37
all, the sphere of regulation of those
00:04:40
very social relations, and in this
00:04:43
regard, the formulation of Alexander
00:04:46
Vitalievich’s problem is incredibly interesting,
00:04:49
we are just beginning to turn to
00:04:53
the Constitution as a certain legal
00:04:56
source that directly
00:04:59
regulates public relations. And
00:05:03
here the question arises, I am now before
00:05:06
your eyes I’ll play a little more,
00:05:07
the question arises about whether
00:05:13
law is today, what
00:05:21
in theory. We are used to understanding law as a
00:05:24
set of norms.
00:05:27
We are used to saying that
00:05:30
law is divided into branches by subject, by
00:05:37
method of regulation, and so on, if we
00:05:41
consider criminal procedural
00:05:44
law, then one of the key issues
00:05:47
of characterization criminal
00:05:49
procedural law, take any
00:05:50
textbook,
00:05:51
first of all there is a question about the sources
00:05:55
and we always determine from which
00:05:58
source we take this or that legal
00:06:01
norm and we are now talking, let’s say, not
00:06:05
only about the criminal procedural
00:06:08
law, but we pose a broader question:
00:06:11
criminal procedural law we have
00:06:13
Seventh article in the Code of Criminal Procedure there is a
00:06:16
corresponding resolution of the
00:06:17
Constitutional Court which showed
00:06:20
How this works The subordination of
00:06:23
these laws and we are considering
00:06:25
criminal procedural law in
00:06:28
this row there are
00:06:32
different sources but in the same order
00:06:36
Arranged in the same row
00:06:39
if we look at these dolls
00:06:43
then
00:06:45
which source is which figure
00:06:48
corresponds
00:06:50
among the sources we call the Constitution
00:06:54
and we even write in textbooks that
00:06:56
the constitution is a norm of direct action,
00:06:58
here the Constitution is Which of these
00:07:02
figures
00:07:08
And if we look at literally the very first
00:07:12
norms of the criminal procedural code
00:07:14
and where we establish the provision
00:07:18
that the basic law governing the
00:07:21
criminal process is the Code of Criminal Procedure,
00:07:25
then in the PC there is
00:07:30
either the second one or in the middle, or this is
00:07:35
what this leads to, this leads to the fact
00:07:39
that in practice
00:07:42
the law enforcement officer does not always
00:07:45
find the very norm in
00:07:48
order to make this or that decision
00:07:52
just yesterday when discussing the problems of
00:07:55
introducing appellate proceedings
00:07:58
by a judge The
00:07:59
Leningrad City Court
00:08:02
has already analyzed the first two months of
00:08:05
practice and what they are getting at, and the
00:08:09
deputy chairman put a
00:08:12
very interesting question for discussion.
00:08:14
If we are talking about the Circle of subjects who
00:08:17
have the right to file an appeal, the
00:08:22
judicial colleagues in criminal cases of the
00:08:24
city court came to the conclusion that
00:08:26
since the
00:08:30
Law and the resolution The Plenum speaks not
00:08:32
only about those entities that are directly
00:08:34
named in the law, but also other persons
00:08:37
whose questions and whose rights are affected, they
00:08:40
apply a broad interpretation and
00:08:43
believe that an
00:08:45
investigator,
00:08:47
the head of the Investigative Body, can file an appeal and
00:08:50
they already have a decision where they accepted
00:08:54
such appeals and made a
00:08:56
decision on these appeals. The
00:08:59
Moscow City Court is developing and
00:09:01
says. We are fundamentally against it; in
00:09:04
no case can it be expanded to such an extent,
00:09:08
but the Moscow City Court is already
00:09:11
receiving an appeal from an
00:09:13
investigator who refers to the decision of the
00:09:17
St. Petersburg court
00:09:20
as a decision on a specific case and
00:09:23
says Why is it possible in St. Petersburg and the
00:09:25
St. Petersburg court accepts it? Why don’t you
00:09:26
accept it?
00:09:27
We can find the answer to this question
00:09:31
in the sources.
00:09:34
Every law enforcement official today demands
00:09:38
from the source of law a
00:09:41
clear and unambiguous answer. Tell me
00:09:45
how. Write it in the text. When
00:09:50
something is missing in the text, we assume that
00:09:53
we need to immediately supplement this text
00:09:55
change this text clarify this text
00:09:58
And we are patching up the legislation ad
00:10:01
infinitum And we are faced with a
00:10:04
situation, firstly, we are finally
00:10:08
starting technically with our
00:10:10
hands What is called
00:10:12
feeling and thinking to realize that it
00:10:15
turns out it is impossible to write a law for
00:10:18
every life situation
00:10:20
it turns out that Social relations are
00:10:23
much more complex
00:10:25
than it can be laid down in general, here is a system of
00:10:29
norms even in Germany where they consider this an
00:10:33
instructive normative act and where
00:10:37
the text of the law is devoid of definition,
00:10:40
devoid of any ideological norms, devoid of
00:10:43
any general goal-setting, but
00:10:46
really just a set of rules
00:10:48
if done this way then do this, the
00:10:51
next step should be these are the
00:10:53
instructions
00:10:56
life is more complicated
00:10:59
and there are not enough instructions
00:11:03
intruding here and the new problems
00:11:06
of which Alexander Vital also
00:11:08
said today are the problems of human rights and
00:11:12
I completely agree with him that as
00:11:14
soon as the
00:11:15
20th century the second half The 20th century
00:11:19
actualized a person as the value of a
00:11:24
person as a subject with
00:11:27
rights so significant that he can
00:11:32
argue with the state that he can
00:11:35
demand something from the state.
00:11:37
We find ourselves in a Situation that, by
00:11:42
definition, cannot be ideally
00:11:44
resolved because the
00:11:47
sphere of human rights is an absolutely
00:11:48
individual and what right will be
00:11:52
demanded in the next second or in the
00:11:55
next criminal case,
00:11:58
not a single legislator can predict
00:12:00
at one meeting with teachers
00:12:03
at advanced training courses when
00:12:05
we discussed the relationship between criminal
00:12:08
procedural law and the decision of the
00:12:09
European Court, the teacher
00:12:12
asked me the question: in
00:12:13
general, in principle, is it possible to
00:12:18
demand protection of rights that are not
00:12:21
written down textually in the
00:12:23
criminal procedure code,
00:12:26
but is it possible for the victim to demand
00:12:29
access to justice in the
00:12:32
criminal procedure code, by
00:12:33
the way 125 mentions this term but not the
00:12:37
concept itself is not disclosed; no
00:12:40
mechanism for the implementation of such a right is not
00:12:44
recorded in the code. So can
00:12:47
the victim even 125 to use and
00:12:49
complain that his
00:12:51
right to access to justice has been violated if it
00:12:54
itself is in that substantive and legal
00:12:56
sense about which it was stated in the dissenting opinions in the decision on
00:13:00
Golden v. Great Britain
00:13:09
Dacha formulation of the question
00:13:12
and here it seems to me that the answer
00:13:15
we should look not in the multiplication of
00:13:19
sources and not in the multiplication of this
00:13:22
series,
00:13:23
it seems to me that now it is precisely
00:13:27
the development of law itself. Social
00:13:30
relations themselves, their complexity, their diversity,
00:13:33
their character requires a different approach
00:13:37
to law.
00:13:38
Well, the theorists have put before us
00:13:42
some such
00:13:45
dilemma or is this positive law When the
00:13:48
norm is enshrined in normative facts or
00:13:51
is it a natural right, when no
00:13:53
normative definition is needed at all,
00:13:55
there is the right to life, but it exists
00:13:57
even if we do not enshrine it, it is
00:14:00
still
00:14:01
criminal procedural law
00:14:04
regulates the sphere of public relations Hmm,
00:14:07
therefore, without certainty and systematicity,
00:14:11
this law is not a guarantee,
00:14:15
and today we constantly emphasize the
00:14:18
guarantee value of procedural norms,
00:14:21
rules are needed only to
00:14:24
ensure compliance with rights to ensure the
00:14:28
legality of the actions of government bodies and the
00:14:31
executive branch in pre-trial
00:14:33
proceedings, and especially the judicial branch,
00:14:35
which does not operate outside the law at all, the
00:14:38
first part of Article 118
00:14:44
We always its Constitution is not always
00:14:47
used in only one sense; the
00:14:49
subject of justice is only the court,
00:14:53
but there is another meaning: the court as a
00:14:57
subject of justice. What makes the
00:15:00
content of the judicial power justice becomes,
00:15:05
that is, the right and the ability of the court to judge the
00:15:10
right to judge on the basis of law,
00:15:15
and this is the subject area of
00:15:19
conflict resolution from disputes of other legal
00:15:22
issues that are assigned by law to the
00:15:24
competence here exclusively within the framework of
00:15:27
law,
00:15:29
therefore we must determine what
00:15:33
this base is for the
00:15:37
implementation of one of the types of
00:15:39
legal proceedings, one of the means of
00:15:42
implementing the judicial power of criminal
00:15:45
proceedings,
00:15:46
and here we are faced, in my
00:15:50
opinion,
00:15:51
with a new requirement of life in understanding
00:15:57
criminal procedural law and its
00:15:59
sources and I’ll play a little again, we have
00:16:04
some kind of social
00:16:08
situation of criminal procedural
00:16:11
social relations
00:16:13
and we
00:16:14
begin legal proceedings,
00:16:17
open the corresponding article of the
00:16:19
criminal procedural code and
00:16:22
get a direct answer Well, in the same
00:16:25
regulation of appeal we we get an
00:16:28
exact answer, a list of entities that
00:16:31
can file an appeal
00:16:34
or an appeal presentation, a list of
00:16:37
decisions of judicial bodies that are
00:16:40
subject to appeal,
00:16:42
then rules that delimit what
00:16:46
can be appealed independently,
00:16:48
including interim decisions. And what does an
00:16:50
appeal require only simultaneously
00:16:52
with the final decision, and so on
00:16:55
But here we are faced with a situation for
00:16:58
which there is no answer in the law, the investigator is one of
00:17:01
these subjects or
00:17:03
not, what should the
00:17:06
court be guided by? When making such a decision, what should the
00:17:11
theory be guided by?
00:17:13
Answering the requests of practice, what should we
00:17:17
do?
00:17:18
You can, of course, say, it seems to me like
00:17:21
this, but the judge cannot in his decision
00:17:24
to refer to the fact that it seems to someone that
00:17:28
he needs a legal basis
00:17:31
Where to look for a legal basis if not in
00:17:36
the text if there is no direct text of this
00:17:40
legal norm
00:17:42
Here I am destroying this system of
00:17:46
sources only visually I play with dolls
00:17:50
differently
00:17:52
the system of sources can persist and
00:17:55
moreover, it seems to me that this is
00:17:58
not an exhausted system; it can expand at any moment,
00:18:02
but we begin to work with it
00:18:05
differently for a banal
00:18:08
obvious legal situation, if an article of the
00:18:11
criminal procedural code gives a
00:18:14
sexual answer, we will limit ourselves to
00:18:17
using only this level of
00:18:19
sources. But how only the question is more complicated,
00:18:26
we need a different amount of research
00:18:31
to find a legal norm,
00:18:35
and from the text of the Code of Criminal Procedure we are forced
00:18:40
to look for something else where the
00:18:46
same legal relationship is more comprehensively regulated, and
00:18:51
perhaps we will simply add to a particular norm of the
00:18:54
Code of Criminal Procedure
00:18:57
the Area of ​​all principles of the criminal procedure
00:19:00
and then we will understand the answer to this question.
00:19:04
Well, for example, with this same investigator,
00:19:08
I can, theoretically reasoning,
00:19:11
build the arguments of my vision for
00:19:16
my answer. If we are talking about the fact that
00:19:20
appeal proceedings are a test of the
00:19:23
justice of the decision made,
00:19:27
and if the judiciary
00:19:30
resolves a dispute between the state and a private
00:19:34
person,
00:19:36
then a The question is, what is the investigator’s
00:19:39
role, what place does he occupy in
00:19:44
this series of social relations? The
00:19:46
regional city court of Moscow
00:19:49
Leningradsky St. Petersburg says,
00:19:52
well, he’s the prosecution
00:19:56
correctly speaking.
00:19:57
And we further argue who the prosecution is. Is it
00:20:01
these disparate
00:20:04
officials or is it a somewhat
00:20:07
hierarchically structured party
00:20:12
And here is a
00:20:13
different situation and here is a different
00:20:17
regulation the
00:20:18
investigator has his own functions in
00:20:22
carrying out the prosecution the head of the
00:20:25
investigative body has his own the prosecutor has
00:20:28
his own
00:20:30
and if the question arises
00:20:34
why the investigator is filing a complaint
00:20:42
he has the right to argue
00:20:47
about the court decision he
00:20:52
cannot have a personal interest
00:20:56
he cannot file a complaint But if
00:21:00
we look at the prosecutor who, at the
00:21:02
pre-trial stage, has a supervisory function that is directly
00:21:04
prescribed to him, and in relation to
00:21:08
all other criminal
00:21:09
proceedings, being a party to the
00:21:12
prosecution only in the first instance,
00:21:15
already in the appellate instance, he ceases to be a
00:21:18
party to the prosecution
00:21:20
already in the appellate instance, the prosecutor
00:21:22
participates because it has a different
00:21:25
function
00:21:27
and
00:21:28
supervision of legality from the law on the
00:21:32
prosecutor's office has not yet been excluded as a function of the
00:21:34
prosecutor. So it can be. In this
00:21:37
logic, when we include the general norms of the
00:21:40
Code of Criminal Procedure and the provisions of related normative
00:21:43
acts and constitutional provisions,
00:21:47
and then a legal norm of a different content is born
00:21:54
and this is the reasoning allows this
00:21:57
norm to be found,
00:21:59
to formulate the
00:22:03
relevant articles of normative acts
00:22:05
that are in the National
00:22:07
Legislation, to make a decision and
00:22:10
justify it with reference to these
00:22:12
normative acts.
00:22:14
But this is a slightly different understanding of
00:22:16
criminal procedural law,
00:22:19
in some cases we lack the Code of Criminal Procedure,
00:22:24
we appeal to
00:22:26
the Constitution of the Russian Federation, we say
00:22:30
that this is a norm of direct action
00:22:32
and the same principle of ensuring the
00:22:36
state’s access to
00:22:38
justice for the victim is the principle of Article 52 of the
00:22:42
Constitution. And if we look at our
00:22:45
textbooks on criminal proceedings, then
00:22:47
excuse me, each author puts 52 wherever he
00:22:51
wants and there are practically no textbooks Where
00:22:56
this principle is stated as an
00:22:58
independent principle of criminal
00:23:01
proceedings
00:23:03
Well, here is our textbook on the judicial system
00:23:06
is trying to destroy this approach and
00:23:10
includes this norm as a norm
00:23:12
regulating
00:23:13
criminal procedural relations
00:23:15
and in order to understand that there is access
00:23:18
to justice, we cannot do without 52 of the Constitution
00:23:20
and it is formed by
00:23:23
maintaining this norm
00:23:25
when we try to formulate a complete norm
00:23:28
If we are faced with
00:23:32
more in a difficult situation, sometimes we
00:23:37
even lack the Constitution. Do you remember Until
00:23:40
recently, uh, we were always
00:23:44
reproached for unreasonable periods of
00:23:47
detention, but we had nothing to answer
00:23:49
because we all the time in the European
00:23:52
Court referred to the procedure for extending
00:23:54
these periods And they said, well how did we
00:23:56
act according to the law
00:23:57
and the European Court says no, we’re
00:23:59
talking about something else altogether,
00:24:01
if
00:24:03
in one case
00:24:08
the convict asked to participate in the
00:24:11
cassation instance, he was convicted by the
00:24:14
Irkutsk regional court, the case is being
00:24:16
considered in cassation by the Supreme
00:24:18
Court at the judicial collegium, the convict
00:24:21
says I want to participate, his two
00:24:24
they are transporting for months And in the case several
00:24:26
accomplices, after some time, the
00:24:29
cassation authority receives a complaint from the
00:24:31
second one with a statement that I
00:24:34
also want to participate,
00:24:36
but this has already begun to be copied, the
00:24:38
second one is also being transferred separately for 4 months
00:24:41
and both are copied,
00:24:43
then some more time uh Moscow
00:24:47
decides the issue there When to schedule a
00:24:50
trial schedules a
00:24:52
trial and ensures participation
00:24:54
this is the first from Irkutsk of two convicts who
00:24:58
appealed the verdict via
00:25:00
videoconference
00:25:07
we did everything exactly in accordance with the
00:25:12
bull we did not violate a single article of the Code of Criminal Procedure did
00:25:18
we do it right have we applied the norm
00:25:20
of procedural law, have we
00:25:22
found it correctly, have we assessed the entire
00:25:26
scope of legal regulation of this
00:25:29
social situation, the situation of
00:25:31
social relations of procedural
00:25:33
relations, it turns out that we need to include
00:25:38
some other sources here and expand the
00:25:42
understanding of this procedural norm,
00:25:46
this may also be a provision
00:25:49
of the European convention, but in the
00:25:53
convention itself, we do not understand what a
00:25:55
reasonable period means; there is
00:25:57
no way to do without it. Therefore,
00:26:00
when we included a
00:26:02
constitutional norm, we
00:26:06
also do not always
00:26:08
directly understand how it works in a constitutional norm,
00:26:12
and sometimes we also need to cover this with a
00:26:16
decision of the Constitutional Court, which
00:26:20
establishes the constitutional and legal
00:26:22
meaning of this legal norm,
00:26:25
if everything is clear, we can be at
00:26:28
the level of the Constitution, we can refer
00:26:32
directly to the norms of the European Convention,
00:26:36
and sometimes from above we still have to
00:26:39
cover this with precedent decisions of the European Court
00:26:42
in specific cases in order
00:26:44
to understand what is behind the term reasonable
00:26:46
time, right now we are working in this
00:26:49
project on appeals with foreign
00:26:51
experts and foreign experts, uh,
00:26:55
having worked uh with organizational issues
00:26:58
in our judicial system yesterday, a
00:27:01
Dutch Expert expressed his ability
00:27:05
that things are going well with deadlines in the Russian Federation.
00:27:08
Well, if only for
00:27:12
several years in a row, judicial statistics
00:27:14
included data
00:27:16
reviewed within up to two months
00:27:18
considered in up to three months
00:27:20
considered more than three months and the
00:27:22
corresponding organizational
00:27:24
disciplinary and other moral
00:27:27
measures for the one who is longer and I
00:27:30
have a question from a colleague: Is it possible to formally apply the same terms to
00:27:33
criminal or civil cases?
00:27:39
Die but in two months to consider
00:27:42
Eduard Borisovich ran away and the load
00:27:45
that
00:27:47
he voiced to Yaroslavichka I
00:27:51
really want to ask what about the quality of
00:27:54
decisions.
00:27:56
He is forced to hurry and decide. This is
00:27:59
within the time frame that was given to him.
00:28:03
I understand perfectly well that this is beyond
00:28:05
human strength and I perfectly understand
00:28:08
that he is doing something is forced to sacrifice
00:28:11
and any judge finds himself in exactly this
00:28:14
position,
00:28:15
and if we include here not only the
00:28:18
formal indication of a reasonable period, but
00:28:22
also cover this with the practice of the
00:28:25
European Court, then it turns out that a
00:28:28
reasonable period is said in a completely different way.
00:28:29
There are simply criteria
00:28:32
that
00:28:34
allow us to meaningfully evaluate whether it was reasonable or there
00:28:37
was not a reasonable term, reasonable, this is not a
00:28:40
calendar period, but this is a meaningful
00:28:42
period, and without this
00:28:46
array of dolls, the decision of the European Court cannot
00:28:50
do without me there are not enough dolls for the
00:28:53
full scope of
00:28:56
today’s procedural norm, I
00:28:58
left the largest doll For the
00:29:01
broader context of the norms of international
00:29:03
law,
00:29:05
because today international law is
00:29:07
so intruding into regulation,
00:29:10
I’m only taking the sphere of criminal
00:29:13
proceedings as we, in general, have
00:29:15
never known such a situation,
00:29:18
have never encountered such a situation, now the
00:29:21
European convention is more or less close to us.
00:29:24
We have been
00:29:26
here since 1998, trying to probe and try to
00:29:28
understand to delve into and begin to
00:29:31
understand at least something at the level of theory at the level of
00:29:34
practice, they cite, as an
00:29:39
example,
00:29:40
unique court decisions when a judge
00:29:44
somewhere in some court in the region
00:29:48
referred to an
00:29:51
article of the convention in his decision or is this a unique
00:29:56
decision of the European Court? But the majority
00:29:59
is not, the majority do not do this even in
00:30:03
the case when Here is a real specific
00:30:06
situation, the decision that has already been made is simply identical,
00:30:10
and yet we are
00:30:13
not yet working with this source, and if
00:30:16
you look at international legal
00:30:18
regulation, then Today we have
00:30:20
dozens if not hundreds of all kinds of not
00:30:24
only generally recognized
00:30:27
norms of international law, principles of
00:30:30
international law such as the
00:30:32
well-known international covenant, even
00:30:36
the norms of the Universal Declaration, which we do
00:30:38
not accept as a source of law,
00:30:41
but nevertheless we somehow appeal to
00:30:44
this source. But there is also a lot of
00:30:47
norms that in international law
00:30:49
are called norms of soft law,
00:30:52
they are not among the general
00:30:54
mandatory ones,
00:30:56
they are either recognized or not recognized by
00:31:01
default by agreement,
00:31:03
right now in Russia they are discussing, for example, the
00:31:07
principles and criteria for assessing
00:31:11
juvenile justice.
00:31:13
Well, we have a very positive attitude towards juvenile justice.
00:31:17
uh, wary because the
00:31:21
Russian Orthodox Church very clearly told us that this is
00:31:24
bad and don’t even think about it. If you are
00:31:26
believers there, don’t dare say this word at all,
00:31:28
but international law at this
00:31:31
time is developing somehow differently
00:31:34
and the judge has a question: What kind
00:31:37
of what understanding of the legal norm should you
00:31:41
use? Do
00:31:42
you include this understanding of the Beijing
00:31:45
rules? Do you include this understanding of
00:31:49
the criteria that were created simply for
00:31:52
evaluation by the
00:31:54
United Nations committee,
00:31:56
they sent them to all countries and they say,
00:31:59
just in case Look, we
00:32:01
evaluate this way, including And what the
00:32:04
number of
00:32:05
minors in
00:32:07
custody And how many
00:32:09
minors are sentenced to
00:32:11
imprisonment And how many
00:32:13
minors have died while
00:32:20
in our custody, does anyone take this indicator into account
00:32:23
and the judge, when prescribing a
00:32:26
preventive measure or a penalty, is
00:32:30
familiar with these figures and is focused on these
00:32:33
indicators Yes no we do
00:32:36
n’t know yet. But life is developing in this
00:32:39
direction. Therefore, this is the
00:32:43
thought that I think is the thought of a
00:32:47
holographic
00:32:48
volumetric understanding of criminal
00:32:52
procedural law and the volumetric
00:32:55
formation of a criminal procedural
00:32:57
norm;
00:33:00
there is no consideration of sources as a series of
00:33:03
posited ones,
00:33:06
but their combination in some general approach. In
00:33:11
some general understanding, and it
00:33:14
seemed to me that
00:33:18
Alexander Vitalievich took exactly this step today
00:33:20
when he showed how the norms of
00:33:23
the Constitution and criminal procedural
00:33:26
law are connected, so it seemed to me that he simply
00:33:28
took on this small doll of
00:33:32
criminal procedural law
00:33:34
[music]
00:33:35
very large and very significant for
00:33:39
We
00:33:40
would like to expand the cap of the Constitution.
00:33:44
Maybe I’m wrong, this is
00:33:46
just a hypothesis, thank you, thank you
00:33:49
[music]
00:33:58
Here, choose judicial law is not suitable,
00:34:01
but the judicial power is coming more. Is it
00:34:04
possible to consider somehow connecting
00:34:07
these things and if the judicial power
00:34:10
should apparently be what? -the law regulating the
00:34:13
judicial power cannot be considered the
00:34:14
doctrine of power in a modern key, not
00:34:17
as the creation of a judicial code, but as
00:34:19
precisely the legal basis for activity
00:34:23
[music]
00:34:27
in the approach that Alexander
00:34:31
Vitalievich applied for me,
00:34:34
judicial law, the foundations of the legal judicial
00:34:39
power of
00:34:40
the Constitution, we include here in the same
00:34:45
basis and criminal
00:34:49
civil-arbitration procedural
00:34:51
codes, including procedural norms
00:34:53
of law in the constitutional court, only
00:34:56
due to the fact that the second part of Article 118 of
00:34:59
the Constitution told us unequivocally. And this
00:35:04
cannot be interpreted differently; judicial
00:35:08
power is exercised through
00:35:15
legal proceedings; there is
00:35:21
no other way to exercise judicial power, and this once again to the problems of
00:35:25
today’s reform of the verification stages,
00:35:28
look what’s happening. We don’t even
00:35:30
notice this at all. Vitalievich
00:35:32
said that the change in jurisdiction
00:35:34
concerns and affects the interests of the
00:35:37
jury here. And you look from the point of view of
00:35:40
the implementation of judicial power
00:35:43
if the Supreme Court refuses the
00:35:46
first instance has already refused
00:35:48
if it reduces its appellate powers to a minimum
00:35:52
and its supervisory
00:35:56
powers will generally be one-time how much
00:36:00
judicial power does it have where has the
00:36:04
judicial power gone?
00:36:07
As a subject of the Federation,
00:36:09
the state today can provide
00:36:12
citizens in different subjects of the Federation
00:36:16
with the same level of judicial protection
00:36:20
We live in different regions, we understand
00:36:23
that regions are very different from each other
00:36:27
And Unfortunately, there are regions where you
00:36:30
can’t count on judicial protection at all
00:36:32
and the only hope for
00:36:35
protection is that we will reach the Supreme Court.
00:36:38
And today the Supreme Court says no no
00:36:40
no, I don’t need the judiciary, I’m
00:36:43
answered by opponents, but the Supreme Court
00:36:46
has the right to
00:36:48
clarification.
00:36:49
And this Sorry, not the judiciary
00:36:53
because the clarification of the Supreme Court
00:36:55
outside the framework of the court of proceedings is any
00:36:59
other powers it has, in addition to the judicial
00:37:02
power, it also has powers as a
00:37:04
state body about the judicial
00:37:07
power it is only where work is on a
00:37:09
specific criminal case and the judicial
00:37:12
power only at the moment when it is
00:37:14
proceedings on a specific case at all
00:37:18
other times the judicial power
00:37:20
is resting
00:37:28
my personal attitude to the fact that the article is
00:37:31
about the prosecutor's office of the Russian Federation
00:37:37
Well, how absurd
00:37:39
how absurd the
00:37:42
absurdity of the legislator at the time of the
00:37:44
development and adoption of the Constitution of
00:37:48
1993, we still did not really understand what the
00:37:52
judicial power is, we are only on
00:37:54
the political level, this term
00:37:56
was used and the legal essence of this
00:37:59
concept We, unfortunately, did not know and at the
00:38:02
same time we did not know. Where to put the
00:38:05
prosecutor’s office, it was pitiful to throw it out completely,
00:38:07
but remember that flurry of
00:38:10
criticism of the prosecutor’s office that we
00:38:13
started with in the nineties,
00:38:16
now we understand that in conditions of
00:38:19
such a huge Federation
00:38:21
Well, probably
00:38:23
Tsar Peter was maybe not so
00:38:27
wrong, the
00:38:35
legislator won’t even think about it
00:38:37
and he will never understand us
00:38:41
If we build these functionalities very logically
00:38:49
What does the legislator do, the legislator
00:38:51
regulates Social relations with the
00:38:54
help of laws And who ensures the
00:38:56
execution of the laws, we say the Accounts
00:38:59
Chamber, the
00:39:01
Accounts Chamber counts the money, and
00:39:04
here the laws are enforced; it ensures the execution of
00:39:07
one single law on the budget and
00:39:10
that’s all. And all the other laws and look
00:39:13
what a gap we ourselves have created,
00:39:18
the legislator is simply engaged in the
00:39:25
law of creativity, the laws of creativity, the
00:39:28
softest expression when we understand
00:39:31
that in Changes to criminal law are made
00:39:35
at almost every meeting of the
00:39:36
State Duma because this is the
00:39:39
most striking activity that a
00:39:43
deputy can demonstrate; to
00:39:45
introduce some kind of killer amendment
00:39:48
to the Criminal Code, and the fact that
00:39:52
Criminal Law and the stability of
00:39:54
Criminal Law is the basis for the stability of the
00:39:57
state; it is the basis of national
00:40:01
security alone in any case, the
00:40:04
judicial power in the conditions of
00:40:06
legislative changes cannot
00:40:09
ensure the stability
00:40:12
of power. And this is one of the functions of the judicial
00:40:15
power
00:40:17
and who can explain this to the legislator today
00:40:22
if, of course, the prosecutor’s office were put in
00:40:26
its rightful place and made it the body
00:40:29
ensuring this steady
00:40:33
uniform understanding and application
00:40:35
laws
00:40:37
there then, of course, it should be an
00:40:39
instrument of the legislative power; this
00:40:42
Legislative power should give it
00:40:43
instructions to accept information from it
00:40:46
and take measures based on this
00:40:48
information,
00:41:21
which we his speeches
00:41:23
stated in advance, the general principles of law, their
00:41:28
role in the harmonization of the norms of console and
00:41:31
international Criminal
00:41:33
law and legal proceedings. But since There
00:41:37
probably won’t be enough time for everything. I’ll
00:41:40
try to be closer to the topic of our
00:41:44
conference. I
00:41:45
would like to remind you that the general principles of
00:41:49
law are the initial normative
00:41:52
guiding principle that
00:41:54
affects the essence of law,
00:41:57
determining its main content and
00:42:00
social value
00:42:02
in the course of the development of human civilization,
00:42:06
on the basis of general principles of law,
00:42:08
national legal systems are formed
00:42:13
industries and institutions,
00:42:17
legal postulates are formed, the rules of legal
00:42:21
logic of legal technology
00:42:24
are fixed, imperative requirements for the

00:42:39
some single comprehensive list of
00:42:43
general principles of law
00:42:46
or their established classification
00:42:50
Not yet, but in practice they are increasingly
00:42:54
used both within
00:42:56
the state and in the international
00:42:58
legal regulation of
00:43:01
law enforcement and legal proceedings, the
00:43:04
Soviet period rejected the very
00:43:06
possibility of the existence of general
00:43:08
principles of law because they said that there
00:43:14
is and cannot be anything in common between the Socialist system, but in recent
00:43:18
years, thank God, the attitude to the approach has changed;
00:43:22
others began to note that the criteria for
00:43:29
classifying principles into the category of general
00:43:32
legal ones is their universality of the
00:43:36
sectoral nature
00:43:40
as well as recognition by the international
00:43:42
community of states as
00:43:45
legally binding rules of conduct
00:43:48
that are used to apply
00:43:50
specific legal norms in determining the
00:43:54
rights and obligations of subjects of rights
00:43:58
general principles of law can be in
00:44:01
complex correlation with the principles of
00:44:04
national legal systems there are
00:44:08
principles of international it is
00:44:10
simpler there is in principle on certain
00:44:13
branches of
00:44:14
international law, including
00:44:16
international Criminal
00:44:18
law, international court of
00:44:21
justice, how this term is sometimes used.
00:44:25
Well, for example, the
00:44:27
common law principle of equality, which
00:44:31
has its roots in the
00:44:34
ancient Roman postulate, equal over equal
00:44:37
has no power, is
00:44:39
currently concretized by the
00:44:41
conson principle of equality of all before the
00:44:44
law and international
00:44:47
sovereign equality for
00:44:49
example, when settling disputes in an
00:44:52
international court of an organization, the
00:44:57
general principle of legal certainty
00:45:00
is in close relationship with the
00:45:03
conson principles of
00:45:05
legality of the supremacy of law, as well as with
00:45:09
such axioms as no one can
00:45:12
transfer to another more rights than to have
00:45:16
laws or a contract itself establishing
00:45:18
liability or aggravating laws does not have
00:45:21
retroactive effect
00:45:24
the contract has an
00:45:26
advantage over the previous
00:45:30
priority over the previous
00:45:35
provision of judicial protection of violated
00:45:38
rights,
00:45:39
embodied as in material such
00:45:42
social norms is more general
00:45:45
in relation to such principles as
00:45:48
justice is an unchangeable and constant
00:45:52
Will to provide everyone with his rights is still
00:45:56
there,
00:46:00
let him be heard and
00:46:04
no one can the other side to be a judge in your
00:46:06
own case, this principle,
00:46:09
Dear
00:46:10
Vitalshchina, called this a
00:46:14
negative position: deceptions cannot be proven;
00:46:17
they destroy legal
00:46:20
consequences; no one can invoke
00:46:24
ignorance of the laws as an excuse;
00:46:26
the right cannot arise from an
00:46:29
offense; let’s say, concretization of
00:46:33
the principle of ensuring
00:46:38
judicial protection of those violated;
00:46:41
in general, the principles of law are received as their own
00:46:45
consolidation in constitutions
00:46:47
is an important resource for
00:46:50
improving the
00:46:51
law enforcement process;
00:46:54
therefore, the
00:46:56
practice of applying general
00:46:59
principles of law by the
00:47:01
courts of Russia and, above all, by the
00:47:05
country’s consolidation court is of great importance. The first was done back in
00:47:09
1992, then by a
00:47:12
decision of the Constitutional Court with
00:47:15
Russia, two on November 10,
00:47:19
1992, two decrees President Yeltsin were
00:47:22
recognized as not complying with the general
00:47:25
principle of law according to which the Law and
00:47:29
other normative acts providing for
00:47:32
restrictions on the rights of citizens come into force
00:47:35
only after its official publication; the
00:47:42
legal principle of justice was
00:47:44
repeatedly referred to by the intonation court
00:47:47
when considering issues in the field of
00:47:49
criminal and criminal procedural
00:47:52
law,
00:47:54
thus revealing the console the content of the
00:47:56
right to judicial protection, the Constitutional
00:47:59
Court of Russia formulated a legal
00:48:01
position according to which this right
00:48:04
presupposes specific guarantees
00:48:08
that would allow it to be implemented in
00:48:12
full and ensure effective
00:48:16
restoration of rights through
00:48:18
justice that meets the requirements of
00:48:22
fairness; the principle of fairness, the
00:48:25
absence of the opportunity to revise an
00:48:28
erroneous judicial act, implores and
00:48:31
limits the right to judicial protection the
00:48:34
constitutional decision was dry on
00:48:36
February 3, 98,
00:48:39
here is the stated legal position as
00:48:43
being of a general nature,
00:48:45
another decision of the
00:48:47
Constitutional Court on
00:48:50
May 28, 99 extended Ena to all
00:48:54
types of
00:48:56
proceedings, including criminal
00:49:00
court proceedings, the
00:49:05
legal meaning of the law adopted on June 28,
00:49:09
2000
00:49:11
by the state Duma of the act on amnesty, the
00:49:14
console court in its resolution of
00:49:18
July 5, 2001 noted the strength of the presumption of
00:49:23
good faith and reasonableness of the actions of the
00:49:26
console bodies,
00:49:28
it is assumed that based on common
00:49:31
interests in the exercise of the power
00:49:34
to declare an amnesty, the
00:49:36
State Duma cannot go
00:49:39
beyond the console; the limits of the
00:49:43
wide discretion granted to it are determined; the
00:49:47
defined limits determined primarily by
00:49:52
general legal principles
00:49:55
mandatory in a democratic society.
00:49:58
According to these principles, it would not correspond
00:50:01
in particular to the nature and purpose of the
00:50:04
amnesty act by creating conditions for
00:50:09
exemption from criminal
00:50:11
liability for acts committed
00:50:14
after the announcement of the amnesty because it
00:50:17
ends because it
00:50:22
provoked the commission of
00:50:23
crimes and would deprive
00:50:27
potential victims defense I
00:50:32
would still like to conclude by noting the following
00:50:35
that the
00:50:36
judicial interpretation of generally accepted
00:50:39
general legal principles, on the one hand,
00:50:42
allows us to identify their modern meaning and
00:50:46
deep content, which turns out to be
00:50:49
necessary to eliminate gaps,
00:50:52
and on the other hand, is one of the
00:50:55
criteria for
00:50:57
the independence of the court of power in its
00:51:00
interaction with the legislative and
00:51:02
executive branches of government, general
00:51:06
principles of law can be used
00:51:08
as a means of eliminating gaps in
00:51:12
the law not only by the constitutional court but also by
00:51:15
other
00:51:16
courts, and I would like to note
00:51:20
that the use of one or another
00:51:24
general principle of law by the courts does not mean
00:51:27
automatically eliminating the gap or
00:51:30
eliminating conflicts; the principles of law
00:51:33
allow us to overcome the uncertainty
00:51:36
of the legal regulation in a specific
00:51:38
dispute or situation in the execution of the same
00:51:42
gap and resolution of the conflict
00:51:55
Dear colleagues, we very much ask for the words of
00:51:59
Liliya Gennadievna Lifanova, since she
00:52:02
needs an airplane, so let us slightly
00:52:06
change the speakers in succession. Moreover,
00:52:09
this very issue is narrow, but the termination of
00:52:13
criminal prosecution has
00:52:16
recently been
00:52:18
discussed
00:52:21
discussed further in a number of decisions that
00:52:23
we will soon see the
00:52:26
termination of criminal prosecution,
00:52:30
but now the topic will be the topic of the speech
00:52:35
will be different than the stated reason
00:52:39
for leaving the speech. I want to say that in
00:52:44
my report some
00:52:46
points will probably be illustrated.
00:52:52
Well, in general, the question of respecting the
00:52:54
constitutional rights of persons involved in the
00:52:56
field of criminal proceedings as
00:52:58
is known in the legal literature,
00:52:59
it has been studied for a long time and in a multifaceted manner in more
00:53:02
than dissertation works, if you
00:53:05
believe the electronic catalog of the Russian
00:53:06
State Library, in one
00:53:08
context or another, this issue was given
00:53:10
attention to the results of each
00:53:12
dissertation research, as we
00:53:13
know, according to procedural requirements,
00:53:15
it is being introduced into the practical activities of
00:53:17
law enforcement agencies and It would seem
00:53:20
no longer should there remain any
00:53:22
problems in observing the
00:53:24
constitutional rights of citizens in criminal
00:53:26
proceedings? Unfortunately, this is
00:53:28
not the case;
00:53:29
the writing of this article arose
