The article reviews the contradictions between the procedural law and an attorney’s professional duty to use an opinion of a knowledgeable person in the system of criminal procedure protection. The paper provides an analysis of the problems and difficulties arising in the implementation of this right in the criminal process leading to violation of the equality and adversarial principles: the optionality of the defense’s right to involve a specialist; the biased attitude of law enforcement agencies to the expert presented by the defense; the desire to diminish the probative value of the specialist’s conclusion and testimony; the absence of an obligation for an investigator and court in all cases to attach the expert’s opinion to the case. The author emphasizes how important it is for all the participants in the criminal process to understand the expert’s opinion and testimony’s independent evidentiary value. Proposals that contribute to the legal specificity and further development of the specialist institution within the framework of the fundamental principles of competition and equality of the parties are presented.

The search for truth lies at the basis of German criminal procedure. Human dignity can be protected by basing criminal judgments on the truth, and human dignity must be protected against overreach by law enforcement agents in their effort to determine the truth. New instruments of investigation, including secret methods and measures affecting non-suspects, jeopardize human dignity. The same is true for plea bargaining, which signifies the abandonment of the search for the truth in the criminal process.

Based on an analysis of international standards in the field of justice discussed at the 13 UN Congresses on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice since 1950, the article examines the characteristics of the ideal model of a fair criminal process from the point of view of the world community. In the context of a fairly broad understanding of the sign of justice, both at the level of national law enforcement bodies and in the context of the application of international acts by various intergovernmental organizations, it is quite important to isolate the key signs of justice. The author studied not only the International Conventions and Declarations discussed at the Congresses, but also their working documents, which made it possible to more accurately determine the desired vector of development of national legislation in its movement toward building a more just criminal process. The conclusions drawn in the work based on the results of the study can be used in lawmaking, as well as be the subject of scientific discussion of the acceptability of the recommendations of the international community for the purposes of effective lawmaking and law enforcement. The author also proposes to take into account the identified factors affecting the fairness of legal proceedings when building scenario analysis models regarding the future transformation of the judicial system in connection with its global digitalization.
