Based on the provisions of part 3 of Article 133, Article 139 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, an analysis of the normative complex has been carried out with the help of which, in judicial practice, compensation for harm to persons caused by the unlawful application of procedural coercion measures to them should be ensured. Special attention is paid to court cases, the content of which reveals the problems of establishing the grounds for compensation for damage caused by the illegal use of procedural coercion measures. It is concluded that only participants in criminal proceedings, criminal prosecution against whom has been terminated on rehabilitative grounds, or illegally subjected to compulsory medical measures, as well as other persons illegally subjected to procedural coercion measures, have the right to compensation for harm in rehabilitation. Thus, the list of persons eligible for rehabilitation is definite and not subject to broad interpretation.","PeriodicalId":508920,"journal":{"name":"Courier of Kutafin Moscow State Law University (MSAL))","volume":"49 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140974807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is a right, the use of which allows a participant in the process not to harm himself and his close relatives with his words or actions. This right is granted to many participants at all stages of criminal proceedings. Ensuring the implementation of the right to witness immunity is entrusted to state bodies and officials conducting criminal proceedings (investigator, investigator, prosecutor and court). The article analyzes the provisions on witness immunity contained in the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation for their compliance. It is stated that Art. 51 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation has a broader content than paragraph 40 of Art. 5 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation, which requires bringing the norms of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation into conformity with the Constitution of the Russian Federation. It is concluded that the procedure for clarification and implementation of the right to witness immunity does not have sufficient legal regulation in the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation, which leads to certain violations in the work of the preliminary investigation bodies, but is partly compensated by clarifications of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and established judicial practice.","PeriodicalId":508920,"journal":{"name":"Courier of Kutafin Moscow State Law University (MSAL))","volume":"106 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140977885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This leads, in some cases, to amend, supplement a previously brought charge, and sometimes make a decision to terminate it in part. Meanwhile, the legislative regulation of this procedure gives rise to discussions both among law enforcement officials and in the scientific community.

The analysis of law enforcement practice is given and attention is drawn to the fact that trust in state bodies and officials conducting criminal proceedings is falling. It is proved that the supremacy of state power in criminal proceedings is within the legal norms of the Constitution, criminal and criminal procedure legislation of the Russian Federation. It is concluded that the arbitrariness of state bodies and officials, going beyond these norms is a violation of the rule of law both at the legislative and law enforcement levels, undermines confidence in state bodies conducting criminal proceedings, in state power as a whole, and, accordingly, weakens the internal sovereignty of the state. It is argued that the basis for strengthening the supremacy of State power in the field of criminal justice is to strengthen social justice, ensure social solidarity, the legality of production and increase public confidence in state power. It is substantiated that a new version of the CPC is needed, which will be aimed at improving the effectiveness of criminal proceedings, including by simplifying it while maintaining the existing procedural guarantees for the protection of the subjective rights and legitimate interests of participants in criminal proceedings.","PeriodicalId":508920,"journal":{"name":"Courier of Kutafin Moscow State Law University (MSAL))","volume":"111 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140977763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Referring to the foreign experience and the historical development of this institution in domestic legislation, the author emphasizes the unjustified narrowing (compared with the pre-revolutionary state) of the number of state institutions belonging to the bodies of inquiry.
