Abstract

This article is about the victim’s right to prove in criminal proceedings. It studies the victim’s right to prove only in criminal proceedings before the court. However, it does not consider the victim’s ability to prove in court. The aim of the study is to examine the possibilities of victims to prove in criminal proceedings, to identify legal and practical issues for the victim’s right to prove in criminal proceedings, as well as to put forward proposals for solving them. Material and methods used in the preparation of the study include analysis and description of regulatory enactments, court judgments, comparable and logical method. Analysis and description of normative acts and court judgments were used for the creation of the study. The comparative method has been used to compare provisions of regulatory enactments, while the logical method has been used to draw conclusions. Methods of interpretation of legal norms have also been used in the study: grammatical, systemic and teleological method. Keywords: criminal proceedings, the victim, proof
