Theoretical and practical dimensions of legal responsibility in criminal justice

Abstract

The present academic paper is devoted to analyzing the current challenges in the field of criminal law and justice, with a special emphasis on the development of universal standards of criminal prosecution. The primary purpose of the research is to identify the key aspects and challenges faced by modern criminal justice systems in the context of their adaptation to globalization processes and international standards. Legal responsibility is the cornerstone of national criminal justice, reflecting a set of legal principles that define the boundaries of permissible behavior and establish legal consequences for violating them. Legal responsibility in the context of international criminal justice reflects the globalization of legal norms and the interaction of international and national legal systems. The principles of fair trial enshrined in the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (hereinafter - the Convention) are an integral part of criminal justice in the member states of the Convention. The basic principles of fair trial relating to criminal prosecution are defined in Article 6 of the Convention. Challenges related to implementing the principles of justice and legality in the international context as well as opportunities for improving the mechanisms of international cooperation in this area actualize the prospects for further studies in this direction. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of various legal traditions and approaches to justice that influence the formation of universal standards of criminal justice. A deeper study of the specifics of national systems and their impact on the formation of universal legal norms is important in order to create a more harmonious and fair international justice.
