Abstract

The Article analyzes interconnections between international law and Russian national law concerning criminal procedure rules under the Charter of Criminal Proceedings 1864 and effective legislation. The Charter laid down the foundations for the implementation of international standards in the sphere of criminal justice. The principle of priority of national law over international law was implemented in the Russian Empire. The current Criminal Procedure Code contains the reverse principle of priority of international law over national law, which causes some difficulties in law enforcement. Primarily this takes place due to the fact that unlike the Charter that employed treaties with foreign powers only, the current criminal procedure contains a wide range of international legal principles, rules and treaties that should be applied. The Article provides examples demonstrating enormous but adverse impact of international law rules on the national legal system. The Author draws a conclusion that it is required to lay down a certain mechanism that allows to avoid and eliminate conflicts and to provide conditions to implement international law rules in national legal relations. Research methods: general methods of cognition (dialectical method); general scientific methods (the comparative law method, the structural-functional method, the systematic method, the method of formal-logical research, the method of theoretical analysis and synthesis of different reference sources, the method of generalization of findings and materials, conclusions); specific scientific methods (the method of comparative study, the historical method) and specific legal methods (the legalistic method, methods of comparative jurisprudence, law interpreting, generalization of judicial practice). The Author draws a comparison between the Charter of Criminal Proceedings 1864 and the current law concerning implementation of international law rules in the sphere of criminal proceedings. In order to avoid and eliminate conflicts arising in implementing international law rules in Russian criminal proceedings, the Author suggests that the legal mechanism should be developed that can make it possible to avoid and eliminate conflict situations and to provide conditions for implementing international law rules in national legal relations.
