The use of video technologies in the criminal proceedings should hardly be considered as a fundamentally new legal phenomenon. In one way or another, video technologies have been used for quite a long time. However, video technologies are used in different ways and to a different extent in different countries. In this regard, it is interesting to compare such indicators in order to increase the effectiveness of the criminal process by expanding the methods of obtaining evidence, increasing the level of protection of participants in the criminal proceedings and international cooperation in the field of criminal proceedings.

The current study attempts to present the effects of a comparative legal study regarding the legal consequences of consent with accusation in Russia and foreign countries' criminal processes. It has been established that the institution of consent with accusation in the Russian criminal process does not have a significant effect on its reduction, and also does not determine the development and application of alternative measures of punishment for committing crimes. According to the current Criminal Procedure Code of Russia, consent with accusation concerning committing crimes of small and medium gravity entails the same consequences: release from criminal liability and reduction of the amount of punishment. Following the principle of fairness, the authors substantiated the most appropriate alternative penalties provided by the criminal procedure legislation of Germany and France.

The article completes a series of works devoted to the study of the history of forensic tactics. The author’s vision of periodization of formation and development of this section of science is given. It is concluded that the trends of the current stage of development of forensic tactics are determined by radical changes in the evidence paradigm, based on the competitive ideology of the reformed criminal process. This poses a number of urgent tasks for scientists and practitioners, including improving the tactics of interrogation, inspection, search, presentation for identification, and the development of methods for conducting new investigative actions for our judiciary, such as simultaneous interrogation of two or more persons, investigative experiment. The whole spectrum of covert (investigative) investigative actions – an institution also still unknown to the domestic criminal process – is in dire need of tactical and forensic support. The need to substantiate the expediency of expanding the cognitive boundaries of forensic tactics, extending its recommendations to the field of criminal proceedings is becoming more and more tangible. It is necessary to continue developing the theory of court situations, tactical decisions, tactics of judicial interrogation and other procedural actions. The problems of planning court proceedings, in particular in the aspect of ensuring the continuity of court proceedings, remain relevant and require further research on the basis of the provisions of the current legislation. The specific activities of the investigating judge require completely new tactical developments. There is an urgent need to develop tactical recommendations on the means of ensuring criminal proceedings, overcoming the opposition to pretrial investigation and trial of criminal cases, protection of participants in criminal proceedings. Extremely important from the standpoint of current trends in criminal justice is the development of tactical and forensic recommendations to ensure judicial proceedings on the basis of procedural agreements and other special procedures of criminal proceedings (simplified, special, etc.).

The Right

The participation of the prosecutor in the criminal process covers both his judicial and pre-trial stages. It is well known that the prosecutor in the Russian criminal process acts as the subject of evidence, not only as the state prosecutor, but mainly as the person conducting the criminal process or observing (supervising) his proceedings in the pre-trial stages of criminal proceedings. In the doctrine of the Russian criminal process, starting with the Charter of the Criminal Procedure of 1864 and up to and including the modern Code of Criminal Procedure of 2001, the prosecutor, to one degree or another, acted as a full-fledged subject of evidence in the preliminary investigation. In the current legal regulation of the prosecutor, despite a number of sign if I can t deformations of his procedural status, it can be attributed to full-fledged subjects of evidence. After the well-known reform of June 5, 2007, which significantly affected the procedural status of the prosecutor at the pre-trial stages of the criminal process, the prosecutor, in the opinion of many well-known procedural scientists (the positions will be given in the presentation of the material), ceased to be a full-fledged subject of proof, since the participation of the prosecutor in evidence is associated with the availability of authority to collect, verify and evaluate evidence. The Russian prosecutor is deprived of forensic tools, he does not have the right to independently collect evidence by carrying out investigative actions, and in relation to the investigation he is deprived of even the authority to give the investigator binding instructions on collecting and verify in evidence. Based on the objectives of the study, the author assesses the content of the powers of the prosecutor as the subject of evidence in the pretrial stages of Russian criminal proceedings When writing the article, the author used general scientific methods (analysis, induction, deduction and others and private scientific methods (formal logical, comparative, legal). Based on analysis of the latest trend since forming the pre-trial stages of the criminal process of foreign countries, it is proposed to clarify the procedural status of the prosecutor in pre-trial proceedings.

Ukraine’s recognition of the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court will further require effective cooperation with this international judicial institution. Unfortunately, the current criminal procedure legislation is marked by significant shortcomings that hinder such cooperation. However, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted the draft. The Law of Ukraine «On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine Concerning Cooperation with the International Criminal Court» may radically change the situation. The establishment of the International Criminal Court has been a great achievement for the international community in the fight against the most serious crimes that threaten general peace, security and international cooperation. In exercising jurisdiction under the Rome Statute of 1998, the International Criminal Court may prosecute those responsible for genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and the crime of aggression, but certain procedural actions, such as arrest, whereabouts or items, searches, he can not carry out independently. In investigating, prosecuting and enforcing judgments, the International Criminal Court cooperates with States in investigating and gathering evidence, making arrests, transferring defendants and enforcing judgments. In this regard, it can be emphasized that the functioning and activity of such an international judicial body directly depends on the effective cooperation of states with it. In turn, the cooperation of states with the International Criminal Court in the field of international criminal proceedings should be based on legal norms and principles that will ensure the latter’s realization of its goals and objectives. The international community has long sought to establish a permanent international criminal court, but this issue has always been postponed for a long time due to differences. Key words: international judicial institution, International criminal court, grounds for international cooperation, transfer of a person, international agreement.

State Protection

The article proposes the author’s scheme for establishing the actual grounds for deciding on the state protection of participants in the criminal process. The content of this scheme consists in transferring the rules of criminal procedure evidence to the procedure under analysis. The authors implement this by supplementing the law of criminal procedure with a group of articles, one of which is devoted to the circumstances to be proved (established) for the application of the procedure of state protection of participants in criminal proceedings. Thus, the work justifies the need to establish the components of the actual basis of state protection by means of criminal procedure evidence.

The Right

The importance of ethical boundaries in the exercise of the right of defence has been written about for a long time. The defendants’ use of the entitlement granted to them by the legislator (Article 6 of the Code of Criminal Procedure) should harmonise with respecting the culture of criminal proceedings. Meanwhile, as practice has demonstrated, the culture of ongoing proceedings often remains outside the required standards of the process. The use of so-called “evasive defence”, assessment of participants to the proceedings through the prism of stereotypes, demonstrating offensive behaviour towards representatives of procedural bodies, or a superficial analysis of the evidence collected reinforce the negative perception of the course of proceedings, thus promoting inappropriate procedural patterns. Furthermore, these situations form the basis for the emergence of judicial mistakes, which usually leave a lasting mark on the further fate of the plaintiff in court. In accordance with theoretical assumptions, effectiveness in the exercise of rights of defence (Article 6 of the CCP) should correlate not only with the fundamental objectives of criminal proceedings (Article 2 of the CCP) but also with well-established assumptions that comply with the standards of diligence as broadly understood, along with the fulfilment of the procedural guarantees of the parties to the proceedings. This paper focuses on crucial issues related to the ethical boundaries of the exercise of the rights of defence. The issues discussed herein are supported by conclusions drawn from the analysis of the outcomes of case studies.

In the 21st century, the concept of restorative justice has become widespread in criminal proceedings. The introduction of special compromise procedures into the criminal process allows for the restoration of the rights of the victim and reduces the level of repression in the criminal justice system. The traditional system of punishment is considered ineffective, not conducive to the purpose of compensating for harm caused by the crime. Restorative justice enables the accused to compensate for the harm caused by the crime and is oriented not towards their social isolation, but towards further positive socialization. The introduction of the ideas of restorative justice into the Russian criminal process requires the introduction of special conciliation procedures. The purpose of the article is to reveal promising directions for introducing special conciliation procedures into the Russian criminal process. The use of the formal legal method provided an analysis of the norms of criminal procedure legislation and the practice of its application. Comparative legal analysis revealed common features in the development of models of restorative justice in modern states. Conclusions. The introduction of conciliation procedures into the Russian criminal process is in line with the concept of its humanization and reduction of the level of criminal repression. The consolidation of the mediator»s procedural status and the mediation procedure in the criminal procedure legislation will make it possible to put into practice the elements of restorative justice.
